Underdressed Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, she's got 6-foot legs and double D's
And everybody stares when she walks in the room
A bubble of perfume
Suddenly I'm underdressed
Oh, she's just rocking jeans and trainers
Looking like somebody famous
All blonde hair and lashes
And you're falling over backwards

It's not a competition
'Cause I can't even hold a flame
She highlights every single flaw of mine
The way she says your name
Because it's butterscotch and Jesus Christ
The definition of your type
Didn't even know you had one
Until she came along

[Chorus]
But I won't lie
I wish that I could move the way she does
She don't even have to try
I think there's magic in her every touch
Oh, it must be nice to know
That you're always gonna be enough
No
[Verse 2]
And now she's walking down the hallway
And your transfixed, can't blink or move
And I'm just watching you watch her
As my faith in this falls through
Because she's apple glaze and bubble clouds
The girl you can't help talk about
Wish I could help you figure out
She's not the one for you

[Chorus]
But I won't lie
I wish that I could move the way she does
She don't even have to try
I think there's magic in her every touch
Oh, it must be nice to know
That you're always gonna be enough
No

[Bridge]
Don't know why I'm so surprised
It's not like I could catch your eye
I caught your words and all your dreams
And your secrets when you can't sleep
But I never caught you quite the way she did
And I'm so jealous that it hurts
'Cause your heart is latched to hers
She never worked to find your favourite song
Or how you looked when you were wrong
You gave it effortlessly
And that burns
[Outro]
So you won't see
The way I'm hoping that she'll let you go
Maybe then it would be
Me that you were bringing home
But I can't tell you what I think
'Cause I know you're the happiest that I've ever seen
Just not with me, not with me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
