“Dress” is one of Taylor’s most sexually charged songs on reputation and it details Taylor’s wants and lusts over another lover. As the name implies, many of the sexual references throughout the song pertain to dresses and the main hook of the song is something Swift herself admitted feeling really...
[Verse 1]
Our secret moments in a crowded room
They got no idea about me and you
There is an indentation in the shape of you
Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo
[Pre-Chorus]
All of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation
My hands are shakin' from holdin’ back from you, ha, ah, ah
All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waitin'
My hands are shakin' from all this, ah, ha, ha, ha-ah
[Chorus]
Say my name and everything just stops
I don’t want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it off, ha, ha, ha-ah
Carve your name into my bedpost
'Cause I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it off, ha, ha, ha-ah
[Verse 2]
Inescapable, I'm not even gonna try
And if I get burned, at least we were electrified
I'm spillin' wine in the bathtub
You kiss my face and we're both drunk
Everyone thinks that they know us
But they know nothin' about
[Pre-Chorus]
All of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation
My hands are shakin’ from holdin’ back from you, ha, ah, ah
All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waitin'
My hands are shakin’ from all this, ah, ha, ha, ha-ah
[Chorus]
Say my name and everything just stops
I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it off, ha, ha, ha-ah
Carve your name into my bedpost
'Cause I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it off, ha, ha
[Post-Chorus]
Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah-ah
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah-ah
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
[Bridge]
Flashback when you met me
Your buzzcut and my hair bleached
Even in my worst times
You could see the best in me
Flashback to my mistakes
My rebounds, my earthquakes
Even in my worst lies
You saw the truth in me
And I woke up just in time
Now I wake up by your side
My one and only, my lifeline
I woke up just in time
Now I wake up by your side
My hands shake, I can’t explain this, ah, ha, ha, ha-ah
[Chorus]
Say my name and everything just stops
I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it off, ha, ha, ha-ah
Carve your name into my bedpost
'Cause I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it off, ha, ha, ha-ah
[Outro]
There is an indentation in the shape of you
(Only bought this dress so you could take it off)
You made your mark on me, golden tattoo
(Only bought this dress so you could take it off)

This song was one of those things where almost every line is something that I came up, like, a year before, and when I was writing the song, I just, like, cherry-picked and I was like, “Like that, like that, like that, like that.” And I was really proud of the hook of this because it sounded like a...
