I'm looking for something in red Something that's shocking to turn someone's head Strapless and sequined and cut down to there Stockings and garters and lace underwear The guaranteed number to knock the men dead I'm looking for something in red I'm looking for something I green Something to out do an ex-high school queen Jealousy comes in the color of jade Do you have some pumps and a purse in this shade And a perfume that whispers "Please comes back to me" I'm looking for something in green I'm looking for something in white Something that shimmers in soft candlelight Everyone calls us the most perfect pair Should I wear a veil or a rose in my hair Well,the train must be long and the waist must be tight I'm looking for something in white I'm looking for something in blue Something real tiny,the baby's brand new He has his father's nose and his chin We once were hot lovers now we're more like friends Don't tell me that's just what old married folk do I'm looking for something in blue I'm looking for something in red Like the one that I wore when I first turned his head Strapless and sequined and cut down to there Just a size larger that I wore last year The guaranteed number to knock the nam dead I'm looking for something I've gotta have something I'm looking for something in red
