Faded Dress Lyrics - Singles - Kay Hanley

Like a grade school valentine 

My heart is asking and aching all the time 

When are you gonna know? 

As near as time gets, you're moving awful slow 

So, lets talk about the way the world should be 

It's not fair, when I'm cast as Gatsby 

And I should have seen you coming like a speeding car 

But you know me perennial Cassandra 

If you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success 

I dont wanna hang around like a faded dress 

When I was young, I thought 

That I'd remember everything that I'd been taught 

Now, it's clear I never learned anything 

'Cause I come up empty, when it comes to you, dear 

So, lets talk about just how it's gonna be 

Forget the love that once made her happy 

'Cause I got a sneaking feeling about you 

Such as youve got other better things to do 

If you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success 

I dont wanna hang around like a faded dress 

On the way out, on the way out 

If worry is the color of currency 

Then I'll pay the will for this movie 

And I cant help but watch it again and again 

'Cause at the end, when I rewind it you're right back with me 

Like a grade school valentine 

My heart is asking and aching all the time 

And I got a sneaking feeling about you 

Such as youve got other better things to do 

If you wanna hurt me, it's an unqualified success 

I dont wanna hang around like a faded dress 

I dont wanna hang around like a faded dress 

I dont wanna hang around like a faded dress 

On the way out, on the way out, on the way out
