Dirty Nightgown

Lyrics

Let your hair down, baby, and put your dirty nightgown on
 Let your hair down, baby, and put your dirty nightgown on
 Now let me stare at you, mama, 'til I don't know right from wrong
 The doors are locked, sweet mama, and there's no one else around
 Pour yourself a little more wine and turn the TV way down
 Cause nothing in the world matters but you and your dirty nightgown
 Now your hearts been broken, baby, my hearts been broken too
 But there's no need to be bitter about dreams that never did come true
 Cause we're older and wiser and that dirty nightgown looks so good on you
 Don't be shy, pretty baby, cause what we're doing ain't a sin
 Just lift up the window shade, honey, and let that full moon shine on in
 Then let me feel your dirty nightgown crushed against my skin
 Some folks pray for salvation, some folks pray for their health
 Some folks pyar for world peace while some just pray for more wealth
 I pray for you and your dirty nightgown, I don't care 'bout nothing else
 Life is beautiful and sad, baby, and you know our time ain't long
 Friends and family pass away and tomorrow we may be gone
 So just let your hair down, baby, and put your dirty nightgown on
