DRESS YOU UP

Lyrics

You've got style
That's what all the girls say
Satin sheets
And luxuries so fine
All your suits
Are custom made in London
But I've got something that you'll really like

Gonna dress you up in my love
All over, all over
Gonna dress you up in my love
All over your body

Feel the silky touch
Of my caresses
They will keep you looking so brand new
Let me cover you
With velvet kisses
I'll create a look that's made for you

Gonna dress you up in my love
All over, all over
Gonna dress you up in my love
All over your body

Gonna dress you up in my love
In my love
(All over your body), all over your body
In my love
(All over, all over)
From your head down to your toes

Gonna dress you up in my love
All over, all over
Gonna dress you up in my love
All over your body

Gonna dress you up in my love
In my love
(All over your body), all over your body
In my love
(All over, all over)
From your head down to your toes

(Gonna dress you up in my love)
Gonna dress you up in my love
(All over, all over)
Dress you up in my love
(Gonna dress you up in my love)
In my love
(All over your body)
All over your body

(Gonna dress you up in my love)
Gonna dress you up in my love
(All over, all over)
Dress you up in my love
(Gonna dress you up in my love)
In my love
(All over your body)
Oh yeah, oh lucky boy

(Gonna dress you up in my love)
All over your body
(All over, all over)
From your head down to your toes
(Gonna dress you up in my love)
Gonna dress you up in my love
(All over your body)
Dress you up in my love
(Gonna dress you up in my love)
In my love
(All over, all over)
Oh yeah, oh lucky boy

(Gonna dress you up in my love)
(All over your body)
(Gonna dress you up in my love)
(All over, all over)

Album

Like A Virgin

Single

In the second half of 1985 Madonna released the fourth and final single from Like A Virgin. This uptempo dance song was perfect to put the attention to Madonna's fashionable style. It hit the #5 spot in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, which was rather poor compared to the many top three hits she was scoring. In the 90's the song was rediscovered when GAP Clothing used it in one of their TV commercials.

Video

Dress You Up, the video For the video, director Danny Kleinman recorded the live performance of the song on the Virgin Tour, where Madonna opened the show with it, as an energetic statement. Madonna is certainly colourfully dressed up!

Tour

As described above, Dress You Up made its premiere on the Virgin Tour. It was performed again on the Who's That Girl Tour as part of a medley. During the guitar intro, Madonna jumps into a goofy dress, hat & glasses. Playfully she bows down, lifts up her skirt and shows off her underpants which reads 'KISS'. She changes the lines of the first verse that make them refer to herself: "I've got style/That's what all the boys say''. Halfway through the song she skips to Material Girl.

Dress You Up was originally included in the Re-Invention Tour setlist but during the rehearsals Madonna and Jamie King decided to replace it with Material Girl.
