I Wish I Knew What Dress to Wear Lyrics by Ginny Arnell

Meet Ginny Arnell

1964

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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)
[Chorus 2]
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
[Verse 3 (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
[Chorus 3]
Maybe I should stay at home
Here where I can cry alone
There's nothing but heartbreak waiting there
(He'll be there, she'll be there)
I wish I knew what dress to wear
[Outro]
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...
