Lit tle black dress just walked in to the room, mak in’ heads turn, can’t stop look ing at you.

It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right, you know.

Lit tle black dress did you come here a lone?

It’s too late, it’s too late, it’s too late to go home.

It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right, you know.

It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right, you know.

wan (Bb)na see the (F)way you move (Bb)for me, ba by.

I wan (Bb)na see the (F)way you move (Bb)for me, ba by.

I wan (Bb)na see the (F)way you move for me.

It’s all right, it’s all right, ’cause I’ll take you home.
