If I don't want to, I don't have to
I don't have to wear a dress
If you don't want to, you don't have to
You don't have to wear a dress
I'll wear shorts and I'll wear pants
I'll even wear pajamas to a dance
If I don't want to, I don't have to
I don't have to wear a dress

Dresses, dresses, I hate dresses
Dresses, dresses, I hate dresses

To a wedding, to a funeral
To a prom or to see your mom
Dinner date, don't be late
Just throw on some jeans and go get laid
If they called you a tomboy like me when I was small
Then if you don't want to, you don't have to
You don't have to wear a dress

Dresses, dresses, I hate dresses
Dresses, dresses, I hate dresses

I can sit with my legs apart
I can sit with my legs apart
I can sit with my legs apart
I can run and jump and play in the park

If I don't want to, I don't have to
I don't have to wear a dress
If you don't want to, you don't have to
You don't have to wear a dress

Dresses, dresses, we hate dresses
Dresses, dresses, we hate dresses
