Everyday Clothes

Jonathan Richman

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.
