Don't recall this one's exact inspiration, but last Friday night I was out for dinner and heard somebody at another table say "She Looks Like She's Going Dancing", which is obviously a future song. Does anyone have any idea what the young ladies wear these days when they are going dancing. As a side note, it does seem as though social dancing isn't nearly as popular these days despite the popularity of the TV show "Dancing with the Stars"?
WHY WOULD YOU WEAR THAT
c2014 Brian Beecher
You propelled me on to the dance floor The night you dressed in white I would admire your clear profile And the long curve of your neck Didn’t know if you were seeking someone But at least you looked the part
Tell me babe why would you wear that It was the best night I had I kept on wanting to dance Although your card was full And all through the night I longed to hold you tight Oh babe why would you wear that, wear that
When you blinked your eyelashes at me I knew I was done for When you said I may have the next dance As the band struck up a waltz As soon as I held out my hand to you I knew how good you were
Tell me babe why would you wear that It was the best night I had I kept on wanting to dance Although your card was full And all through the night I longed to hold you tight Oh babe why would you wear that, wear that
I could hardly turn you down With you I could paint the town I found I liked looking at your face
Tell me babe why would you wear that It was the best night I had I kept on wanting to dance Although your card was full And all through the night I longed to hold you tight Oh babe why would you wear that, wear that

"That" can refer to anything that one may see as out of place, unusual, or may not look good on that particular person.

Nice write! I enjoyed it. I thought it flowed well and the structure was very good as well.
