The Quiet Regret - Girl in the Polka Dot Dress

A simple song
For a simple girl
With jet black hair
She put in the curl

She paints her nails
She paints her lips
She likes her drinks
But she only sips

She'll make you laugh
She'll make you smile
And she'll hang around
For a little while

And my heart just stops
I must confess
When I see the girl
In the polka dot dress

Defenses up
Walls built high
She can't let you in
And she won't even try

Beyond those walls
Alone and scared
Someone else did her wrong
She wasn't prepared

She said what you want
I'm not up to the task
But how would she know
She never bothered to ask

She says that
Her heart's a mess
And she covers it up
With a polka dot dress

She is graceful
She is kind
And I'm grateful
For our time

You gotta
Big long life to live
You gotta lotta love
You wanted to give

Your feet stood steady
On the ground
Got ready to go
Just to be shut down

But just because
The feeling's strong
That don't mean
You did anything wrong

It's not hard to fall
Or hard to doubt
But the truth is
Things don't always work out

But my heart still stops
I must confess
When I see a girl
In a polka dot dress
