Dressin’ Up Lyrics
Ah
Dressin' up, dressin' up, for you, for you
Dressin' up, dressin' up for you, for you
Ah
[Verse 1]
Saucer of milk (Saucer of milk), table for two
You wanna pet my kitty? You're such a dirty doggie
It’s your lucky night (Your lucky night), 'cause I'm in the mood
Oh, I'm feeling spicy, I'm feeling real naughty
[Refrain]
Pick a part, you dream it up
A dark vixen, a Lolita
Oh boy, tell me your fantasy
Tonight's the night, I'm dressin' up for you
[Verse 2]
I can tell you're obsessed (Tell you're obsessed)
By your shortness of breath
Ooh, my Cookie Monster wants a taste test
Be a good boy and I'll show you the rest
Ooh, my little voyeur wants to play explorer
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick a part, you dream it up
Librarian, dominatrix
Oh, boy, tell me your fantasy
Tonight's the night (Tonight's the night)
Tonight I'm gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine-to-five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight's the night I'm dressin' up for you
(Dressin' up)
[Verse 3]
You're getting hot, so let's call the nurse
Ooh, I feel a fever, let's take your temperature
Better behave or a police officer
Will have to hold you down, give you what you deserve
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick a part, you dream it up
Use your imagination
Oh, boy, I'll be your fantasy
Tonight's the night (Tonight's the night)
[Chorus]
Tonight I'm gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine-to-five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight's the night, I'm dressin' up for you
Tonight, I'm gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine-to-five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight's the night, I'm dressin' up for you
Tied tight, tip, teasing
Push, pull, pressure, pleasing
Beads of sweat drip down your neck
Breathing deep, gaining speed, 'bout to peak
Trembling, trembling, trembling
[Chorus]
Tonight I'm gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine-to-five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight's the night, I'm dressin' up for you
Tonight, I'm gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine-to-five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight's the night, I'm dressin' up for you (Oh)
[Outro]
(Dressin' up)
I'm dressin' up for you (Oh, yeah)
I'm dressin' up, I'm dressin' up, I'm dressin' up, I'm dressin' up
I'm dressin' up for you (Oh)
I'm dressin' up, I'm dressin' up for you

Producer Tricky Stewart discussed the song in a 2011 interview:
This song is really special. It’s called ‘Dressin’ Up,‘ so it’s going to be a big record, I think,“ he said. "It definitely fits. It’s right there in what her sensibilities are as a musician and a songwriter. She doesn’t change much. She has a very keen musical taste. It’ll be really good.”
