Girl in the Polka Dot Dress

Music and Lyrics by Ethan Deppe

A simple song

For a simple girl

With jet black hair

She put in the curl

She paints her nails

She paints her lips

She likes her drinks

But she only sips

She’ll make you laugh

She’ll make you smile

And she’ll hang around

For a little while

And my heart just stops

I must confess

When I see the girl

In the polka dot dress

Defenses up

And walls built high

She can’t let you in

And she won’t even try

Beyond those walls

Alone and scared

Someone else did her wrong

She wasn’t prepared

She said what you want

I’m not up to the task

But how would she know

She never bothered to ask

She says that

Her heart’s a mess

And she covers it up

With a polka dot dress

She is graceful

She is kind

And I’m grateful

For our time

You gotta

Big long life to live

You gotta lotta love

You wanted to give

Feet stood steady

On the ground

Got ready to go

Just to be shut down

But just because

The feeling’s strong

That don’t mean

You did anything wrong

It’s not hard to fall

Or hard to doubt

But the truth is

Things don’t always work out

But my heart still stops

I must confess

When I see a girl

In a polka dot dress
