1. I left your key, I hit the road
I didn't want to but I had to let you go
Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhh
I know you're shocked, I know you're mad
I know it hurts to know a good thing went so bad
Ohhhhh, ohhhhh
And I really do hate that you hate me
And I really do hate that you hate me.

[Chorus:]
I don't need a white veil, I got a black dress
Don't need a preacher, no no not yet
Don't have the blues when I've got my red wine
Out on the town, or in the city
Ain't nothin like the way it fits me
So take that gown and lay it down to rest
Cause I'm better in a black dress.

2. I'm just a girl, I'm not a wife
I just need a little time to live my life
Ohhhhh, ohhhhh
I wanna dance, I wanna yell
I wanna band, I don't want no wedding bells
Ohhhhhh, ohhhhh
And maybe one day you'll forgive me
And maybe one day...

[Bridge:]
I'm better in a black dress, call me a hot mess
I feel so good, ooh I gotta confess
I like the way it feels in cowboy boots or heels
So listen up, baby here's the deal.
