DRESS MYSELF IN BLACK (Pete Ham)
[from Keyhole Street: Demos 1966-67 CD - recorded 1967 - released U.S. 2013]

Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo

Something told me you're the one
Since the day you caught my eye
Don't know if I'll get you, girl
But I know I'm gonna try
Don't make tears come to my eyes
Gotta make you realize

I'm gonna dress myself in black
Colors left behind
I'm gonna dress myself in black
'Til I make you mine

First I liked a motorbike
Then I liked a motorcar (honk honk)
But out of all the things I like
I like you best by far
Hope all day
You'll pass my way
Gonna make you mine someday

I'm gonna dress myself in black
Colors left behind
I'm gonna dress myself in black
'Til I make you mine

Starry eyes that shine so bright
Attracting me to you
Tender lips curved in a smile
That make me smile back, too
A smile alone is just a miss
Unless it's followed by a kiss

I'm gonna dress myself in black
Colors left behind
I'm gonna dress myself in black
'Til I make you mine

Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
Oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo
