The song is awesome! Here is the musical video as well as the complete lyrics.



All Dressed Up In Love

When you can wear what you feel
What do you wanna say?
Now love is a little number that you can wear each day
As long as you let me be the accessory
Simply send me on my way
Style of love
I look good in love
When it’s been out of sight and out of mind for such a long time
That’s how one forgets
So I reached in the back of my closet and pulled it out
And tried it on and it still fits
So I covered the pain up with lots of MAC make-up
But I can’t help but blush
Because I’m in love
All dressed up in love

(Chorus)
Cool in the summer, warm in the winter
I’m dressed up in love
I’m cool in the summer, warm in the winter
Cuz I’m in love
All dressed up in love
People are looking, some even staring
I don’t know it, when they ask me what I’m wearing
This or that, it’s made for any weather
My friend and I sit down and we both make it together
Now if you really want one of your own
I hope your shoes are made for walking
Cuz I found love and I you must find love
[Chorus]
Cuz I’m in love
And you must find love
