Green Dress

I probably shouldn’t ask you but I’m going to anyway
please don’t wear the green dress that I bought you on that day
when you were celebrating and oh you looked so gay
please don’t wear that green dress anymore
you can give it to the Salvation Army
they’ll sell it for a pittance of what it’s worth
but some young damsel will wear it to a dance
and be so pleased as she sallies forth
please don’t wear the green dress that I bought you on that day
when our love was new and we had all the time in the world to play
to play at being lovers in our own sweet special way
please don’t wear the green dress that I bought you on that day
I don’t want to see you dancing slow with somebody else
his hands caressing your green clad back
so please do me a favor and just let that dress go
your closet’s full and you don’t need that
I probably shouldn’t ask you but I’m going to anyway
please don’t wear the green dress that I bought you on that day
unless your heart comes calling guess there’s nothing much left to say
and I won’t be buying you dresses anymore
