Lyrics Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman

Everyday Clothes

Going to a party and she's wondering what's the way.

I say "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 the girl was dressed to kill.

I loved her, I loved her at first sight I suppose

And I couldn't have loved her more than in her...

Plain old everyday clothes.

Jeans and a sweater, jeans and a shirt

I started going soft and I started to flirt

Ooo Ooo

Well jeans and something that didn't fit right

Naw, But I loved her at first sight.

Now she's in something from the hardware store

But Pierre Cardin and Fiorucci could have done no more.

Cuz I loved her, Cuz I loved her

Cuz that's the way it goes

And I loved her even 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

Ooo Ooo

Well Jeans and something that didn't fit right

Mmm, 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 (It only made it more intense)

Cuz I loved her, Cuz I loved her

Since every angel knows

And I, I loved her more in just her...

Plain old everyday clothes.

My God, her plain old everyday.

Jeans and a sweater, Jeans and a shirt

I started going soft and I started to flirt

Jeans and something from the second hand

But remember what I said about Pierre Cardin.

Jeans and something from the hardware store

But the Italian boys could have done no more.

Alright, well alright.
