I wish I knew what dress to wear
And just what style to fix my hair
I wish I knew what colored shoe
Black silk pumps or my satin blue
He'll be there with her I know
I don't really want to go
But I've got to prove that I don't care
(I don't care - I don't care)
I wish I knew what dress to wear
What kind of bracelet on my wrist
Which lipstick on these lips he kissed
Which shade of powder would be right?
To hide the tears that I cried each night
(Cried each night)
He might never notice me
He's too much in love to see
How hard I'll be trying not to stare
(Don't stare - don't stare)
I wish I knew what dress to wear
[Spoken]
I'll choose the perfume that he loves
My chiffon scarf my new white gloves
But every time he smiles at her
I'll keep remembering how close we were
Maybe I should stay at home
Here where I can cry alone
There's nothing but heartbreak waiting there
(She'll be there - she'll be there)
I wish I knew what dress to wear
I wish I knew what dress to wear
(Green, red, yellow, blue - green, red, yellow, blue)
I wish I knew - I wish I knew - I wish I knew (fade out)
And just what style to fix my hair
I wish I knew what colored shoe
Black silk pumps or my satin blue
He'll be there with her I know
I don't really want to go
But I've got to prove that I don't care
(I don't care - I don't care)
I wish I knew what dress to wear
What kind of bracelet on my wrist
Which lipstick on these lips he kissed
Which shade of powder would be right?
To hide the tears that I cried each night
(Cried each night)
He might never notice me
He's too much in love to see
How hard I'll be trying not to stare
(Don't stare - don't stare)
I wish I knew what dress to wear
[Spoken]
I'll choose the perfume that he loves
My chiffon scarf my new white gloves
But every time he smiles at her
I'll keep remembering how close we were
Maybe I should stay at home
Here where I can cry alone
There's nothing but heartbreak waiting there
(She'll be there - she'll be there)
I wish I knew what dress to wear
I wish I knew what dress to wear
(Green, red, yellow, blue - green, red, yellow, blue)
I wish I knew - I wish I knew - I wish I knew (fade out)
