Jonathan Richman Everyday Clothes
Going to a party and she's wondering what's the way
I said look why don't you just wear what you'd wear
everyday
You know T-shirt
You know Sweatshirt
You know Cut off shorts you know those
Plain old everyday clothes
She had a black dress that I remember still
But in her ordinary clothes she was dressed to kill
I loved her
I loved her
At first sight I suppose
But I couldn’t have loved her more than in her plain
old everyday clothes
Jeans and a sweater
Jeans and a shirt
Starting going soft and I started to flirt
Jeans and something that didn't fit right
Oh, but I loved her, at first sight
Now she’s in something from the hardware store
But Pierre Cardin and Fiarrucci could’ve done no more
Cause I loved her, I loved her
Cause that's the way it goes
And I loved her even more in her plain old everyday
clothes
Jeans and a sweater
Jeans and a shirt
Starting going soft and I started to flirt
Jeans and something that didn't fit right
Oh, but I loved her, at first sight
Now she’s in something that she's put on by chance
But when I fell in love, when I fell in love it plain
made no difference
I loved her, I loved her
Since every angel knows
And I loved her more in just her plain old everyday
clothes
Jeans and a sweater
Jeans and a shirt
I started going soft and I started to flirt
Jeans and something from the second hand
Well remember what I said about Pierre Cardin
Jeans and something from the hardware store
Well the italian boys could've done no more
