Red Dress

But she just shakes her head and slams the door
You go back to your place, empty like before
And the red dress's in a cardboard box
That she'd thrown on the floor, ah

Call her your baby, yeah you know it when wears that red dress you bought
Call her your baby, yeah you know she's worth every war you've fought

And you told yourself you'd never let this one go
But here you are, standing in the bitter cold
And now you say

Baby, baby, talk to me, what can I do to make you stay?
Baby, baby, talk to me, what can I do to make you stay?
But she just shakes her head and slams the door
You go back to your place, empty like before
And the red dress's in a cardboard box
That she'd thrown on the floor, ah

She's still your baby, in your head moments before you fall asleep
She's still your baby, even now when she's on top of a hill too steep

You can't remember how you ever got to where you are now
When you're hearing her say I knew it was a bad idea,
Coming to this town
Say

Baby, baby, talk to me, what can I do to make you stay?
Baby, baby, talk to me, what can I do to make you stay?
But she just shakes her head and slams the door
You go back to your place, empty like before
And the red dress's in a cardboard box
That she'd thrown on the floor, ah

Oh that shade of red, you know it'll never fade
Oh that shade of red haunts you till your dying day
Asking, What can I do, what can I do
What can I do, what can I do
What can I do, what can I do
What can I do, what can I?

What can I do, what can I do
What can I do, what can I do
What can I do, what can I do
What can I do, what can I?

Baby, baby, talk to me, what can I do to make you stay?
Baby, baby, talk to me, what can I do to make you stay?
But she just shakes her head and slams the door
You go back to your place, empty like before
And the red dress's in a cardboard box
That she'd thrown on the floor, ah
