Red DressBabyface

Top of the morning
Thinking of you
Plan my day
My list of to do

Stop at the cleaners
Pick up my suit
Make reservations for two
Buy you some flowers
Get you red roses

Make sure you notice
That I'm with you
'Cause this is my first night with you

So put on your red dress
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on some smell good
I wanna romance with you

I just want it perfect for you
One perfect night for two
Put on your red dress
It's going down for you

Call you at seven
Right on the dot
Pick you up early
Tonight's gonna be hot

Stop for some cocktails
Let's set the mood
Have a Martini Cosmo or two
Sit down for dinner
On Fifth Avenue

Baby go clubbing girl
Yeah just me and you
It's gonna be my first dance with you

So put on your red dress
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on some smell good
I wanna romance with you

I just want it perfect for you
One perfect night for two
Put on your red dress
It's going down for you

So put on your red dress
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on some smell good
I wanna romance with you

I just want it perfect for you
One perfect night for two
Put on your red dress
It's going down for you

Babyface

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
