Rosie Thomas - Pretty Dress Lyrics






Put your pretty dress on
it's time for you to go to the dance
tie your hair in ribbons and lace
and wear pearls round your neck
And all the pretty princes will see you
All the pretty princes will see you
Some day
Some day

Put your red boots on
it's time for you to walk home from school
every one will laugh
they'll point fingers at you
they'll be cruel
but cover up your ears and don't listen
because you'll know much better than them
some day
some day

and they'll wave to you
and they'll wave to you

put your red coat on
and walk with a light in the woods
if it gets dark don't get scared
there's so much waiting for you
cover up your tears and don't show them
cause you'll know much better than them
some day
some day

and they'll wave to you
and they'll wave to you
and they'll wave to you
and they'll wave to you

cause they don't see you like i see you
if they did, they'd see
the nice little girl whose
grown up to become homecoming queen

put your pretty dress on
put your red boots on

and they'll wave to you
and they'll wave to you
and we'll wave to you
and we'll wave to you

put your pretty dress on
put your red boots on
put your red coat on
put your pretty dress on
put your pretty dress on
put your red coat on
put your red boots on
put you pretty dress

Rosie Thomas Pretty Dress Comments
  1. W.... W....

    To me, this song is about the sweet nothings that a parent or adult tells to a child who is being bullied or going through a rough times. Things will get better. You're better than them.

    But listen to the music. It's sad-- a dirge, not a triumph. Because adults know that the sweet nothings are never quite good enough or true enough. The world can be a cruel place and sometimes there is no redeeming it. We hope the words end up being true, but we know they may not be.

  2. J.... W....

    Love this. My dad loves music like this and has played a big part of my love of music... Now this, this is real music. Not that stupid dance music and nae nae stuff.

  3. c.... ....

    @MusoDuo Yes, but Rosie came along first :) They are both amazing and incredibly talented, though.

  4. s.... ....

    i found this on baeble.com and then youtube and found that if you play them both at the same time a couple of seconds apart ( the length of time it takes to change vids and press play) it sounds even better than the original and it really rocks. She should seriously consider doing this as another version.

  5. C.... D....

    She's so luminous. But it also makes me feel I'm in an Etsyworld nightmare

  6. J.... A....

    IS IT A DOG or a cat ?FTW? lolz trolz

  7. M.... ....

    looking back at my school days and looking at my life now, this song makes me feel happy :)

  8. S.... B....

    this song makes me want to transvest.

  9. i.... ....

    what a coincidence! I accidentally went to this vid and the title really matches my situation right now. I'm looking for pretty dresses!

  10. C.... P....

    @greenbeansrule Just wait, once you hear my music. Rosie Thomas is my inspiration. She's such a beautiful person. :)

  11. a.... ....

    @julzzx if you like regina spector and rosie thomas you should try amanda palmer.

  12. A.... ....

    @GlassOnionful True, but I was referring to this song specifically..not all songs.

  13. E.... V....

    @julzzx Hero of the Story, maybe?

  14. E.... V....

    love the claymation/stop-motion stuff :)

  15. S.... M....

    Truely amazingg!

  16. C.... O....

    it makes me cry :( sometimes life can be so cruel.....

  17. S.... ....

    Go back.

  18. K.... M....

    such a great singer! and sucha powerful message!

  19. R.... ....

    this song makes me depressed because it has a hidden truth in it

  20. C.... W....

    This song makes me smile,
    especially the lyrics 'tie your hair in ribbons and lace' because it's exactly what i do =] and i love being different, because it's who i am.

  21. A.... ....

    I wish people could understand what real lyrics should sound like. Just like this..they are real, harsh and uplifting at the same time. Gives hope, you know?

  22. n.... ....

    actually my friends and co workers are all girls and we would do anything for each other, and are always encouraging each other.
    so i don't think that's true, maybe u need to find new friends and start being really nice to them

  23. m.... ....

    i don't really think that's true. i think we can be. but...always? it's not my way.

  24. C.... P....

    Ou its wonderful, isn't it ?

  25. m.... p....

    I love this song...

  26. r.... ....

  30. M.... ....

    I cry everytime I watch this video because it reminds me of my childhood...jesus I'm crying now

  31. M.... ....

    I have no idea about the song meaning, but the video is about how no matter how you dress or how you look, you will always be you. People will see through it, but you must be you.

  32. a.... ....

    Never mind. I have it on mp3, thanks!

  33. A.... ....

    Is it me or does the singer look a lot more like Sarah Shannon from Velocity Girl than Rosie?

  34. a.... ....

    Sorry, I don't understand the video. The meaning might be right under my nose, but I fear I may be wrong. Please explain. Thanks!! :)

  35. a.... ....

    I can't wait 'til Rosie comes to Detroit 12/6!! I LOVE her voice and she's an awesome talent!! :) SHE should live in a 50-room mansion instead of Britney spears and her ilk!!

    BTW, does anyone have this on MP3?! :)

  36. G.... O....

    Heel mooi! xxx

  37. 2.... ....

    I think that we see by our eyes
    but sometimes we should see with by heart

  38. A.... K....

    Obviously you've grown up. I mean, look at the way you're typing now.

  39. C.... P....

    What an AWESOME voice.

  42. J.... J....

    the video is so sad man

  43. b.... ....

    She's like a cross between Tori Amos and Regina Spektor, i love it!!!!

    Cute video too!

  44. A.... ....

    survivedall, I agree with you. I heart this song but I totally have stop motion phobia. But I do love the end where the raccoon takes off her mask and it's Rosie.

  45. K.... ....

    how i lover her voice!!!!

  46. k.... ....

    like the stop motion animation
    beautiful song

  47. S.... ....

    Honestly, I think this song deserves a lot better of video then it has.

  48. C.... ....

    That's fair.. you're entitled to your own opinion. but don't be a hater.

  49. m.... ....

    An awesome talent. Her music never fails to touch the heart, mind and soul.

  50. B.... B....

    worth way more than I paid. And she was very personable, charming, and funny!

  51. B.... B....

    Come see her at Cafe Bella NOV. 2 Pembroke MA

  52. k.... ....

    Anyone know where to get the piano sheets for this? :) It sounds so pretty

  53. M.... ....

    Rosie Thomas is way too underrated.

  54. g.... ....

    lovely song and video.


    it would be nice if people could keep the drama on video comments to a minimum. if you want to fight and bicker to each other about shit, do it on myspace. kthanks.

  55. J.... M....

    Great song Rosie. Nicely done, James

  56. C.... ....

    I actually met her and her brother in Seattle. They are the most humble and charming people in the world. Rosie is so talented and has so many fans, but she is not in the least bit prideful... She is wonderful.

  57. L.... ....

    I really like this. A lot. Wow!

  58. L.... S....

    you're the type who likes "perfectly packaged singers," right? why do you even keep coming back to this video if you hate her so much?

  59. C.... P....

    im srry...but its just dat its my opinion and i dont like her. Also, da video is kinda weird.

  60. C.... ....

    she has such depth in her songs... I also love the Kite Song. I don't know how anyone could say that she isn't talented.

  61. C.... P....

    OMG!!!! What is wrong wit u pplz?? This song is the worst song i ever heard! She is ugly, cannot sing and this song is out of tone! It is stupid. I dont no why people like her!!! She should go on American Idol and get voted off!!

  62. R.... G....

    Nice Song.

  63. j.... ....

    Rosie is awesome. Her music is so great. I met her and her brother Brian after a show in Pittsburgh and the were both very kind and gracious about their talent. Keep it up!!!

  64. K.... S....

    great song

  65. p.... ....

    i love this song!!!

  66. y.... ....

    i <3 her voice... thanks for sharing Ü

  67. J.... R....
