Maria McKee - If Love Is A Red Dress (Hang Me In Rags) Lyrics






My heart is empty
Your eyes are dull
Once we were hungry
Now we are full
These ties that bind us
Can't beat these chains
If love is shelter
I'm gonna walk in the rain

You were my angel
Now you are real
So like a stranger
Colder than steel
The morning after
No one should brag
If love is a red dress
Well hang me in rags

Oh well, there goes the fairy tale
Lord, ain't it a shame
In all this comfort, I can't take the strain

If we played even
I'd be your queen
But someone was cheatin'
And it wasn't me
I played on the table
You held something back
If love is aces, gimme the jack

    Good Song!!!

  60. G.... R....

    @UncleErnie71 Yeah I agree! This song could be used more wisely... =]

  61. U.... ....

    This song wasn't well implemented in the movie. It was obscurely tucked away in the background at the pawn shop. It should have been used better, but at least he used it.

  62. k.... ....

    @ArmyOfPussy Yes it is buddy...You're right...Maynard the spider...

  63. F.... A....

    Que voz la de etsa mujer me hace estremecer...¡¡¡¡¡¡

  65. r.... ....

    One of the most beautiful brutal love songs ever written.And Maria just drives the nails in.

  66. j.... ....

  79. A.... ....

    @hippityhop05 Finally, someone who's favorite movie is not Pulp Fiction! I enjoy the movie, but not what the hype was suppose to be about because my friends had to spoil me certain scenes -_-
    But the soundtrack kicks ass though :)

  80. C.... ....

  82. T.... B....

    Best song off of Pulp Fiction

  83. j.... ....

    All great stuff, but to me, the absolute gold was the fight over "brain detail." I still laugh at that part and haven't seen the movie in 10 years!

  84. D.... M....

    one of the best vocals i've ever heard

  85. G.... C....

    The essence of a primal scream........reaches right to the very bottom of your soul

  86. k.... ....

    Everything about this song brings me right back to being 17, cant believe its been 14 years eeeeeeeek!

  87. T.... E....

    Mannn... this song is the epitome of all that has gone wrong in a relationship, and simultaneously the essence of all that you feel while being with that special someone... this renders my heart in twain... my soul criez... thx Maria [emo kirby dance for you] (>-_-)> <(-_-<) (>-_-)> <(-_-<)

  88. A.... A....

  89. h.... ....

    Pulp Fiction wasn't my favorite movie, but this song is one of my absolute favorites. What a beautiful, sultry voice (and whistle).

  90. A.... ....

    Yep, you're right. The song did play just before and when Butch entered the pawn shop.

  91. 6.... ....

    I really love it.

  92. A.... ....

    Which scene does this song did this appear in?

  93. j.... ....

    what a great emotive voice. Whoever cheated on maria must have really hurt her.

  94. l.... d....
