[Intro]
Ahh
Dressin' up (Dressin' up for you, for you)
Dressin' up (Dressin' up for you, for you)
Ahh

[Verse 1]
Saucer of milk
Table for two
You wanna pet my kitty?
You're such a dirty doggie
It’s your lucky night
'Cause I'm in the mood, oh, I'm feeling spicy
I'm feeling real naughty

[Refrain]
Pick a part, you dream it up
A dark vixen, a Lolita
Oh boy, tell me your fantasy
Tonight's the night I'm dressin' up for you

[Verse 2]
I can tell you're obsessed by your shortness of breath
Ooh, my Cookie Monster wants a taste test
Be a good boy and I'll show you the rest
Ooh, my little voyeur wants to play explorer

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Pick a part, you dream it up
Librarian, dominatrix
Oh boy, tell me your fantasy
Tonight's the night (Tonight's the night)

[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine-to-five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight's the night I'm dressin' up for you (Dressin' up)

[Verse 3]
You're getting hot, so let's call the nurse
Ooh, I feel a fever
Let's take your temperature
Better behave
Or a police officer will have to hold you down
Give you what you deserve

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Pick a part, you dream it up
Use your imagination
Oh boy, I'll be your fantasy
Tonight's the night (Tonight's the night)

[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine-to-five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight's the night I'm dressin' up for you
Tonight, I'm gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine-to-five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight's the night I'm dressin' up for you

[Bridge]
Tied tight, tip, teasing
Push, pull, pressure, pleasing
Beads of sweat drip down your neck
Breathing deep, gaining speed, 'bout to peak
Trembling, trembling, trembling

[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine-to-five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight's the night I'm dressin' up for you
Tonight, I'm gonna come alive
Make you forget about your nine-to-five
Are you ready for your blood to rise?
Tonight's the night I'm dressin' up for you (Oh)

[Outro]
(Dressin' up)
I'm dressin' up for you, for you, for you, for you, for you
(Oh yeah)
I'm dressin' up, I'm dressin' up, I'm dressin' up, I'm dressin' up
I'm dressin' up for you, for you, for you, for you, for you
I'm dressin' up, I'm dressin' up for you

Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth “Katy” Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, businesswoman, philanthropist, and actress. She was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California. Having had very little exposure to mainstream pop music in her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teen and released her debut self-titled studio album in 2001. She also recorded a second solo album in 2005, (A) Katy Perry, which was scrapped.

Afterwards, Perry (her mother’s maiden name, taken to avert confusion with Kate Hudson) reinvented herself as a party girl pop star, breaking out with 2008’s One of the Boys and the #1 hits “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold”.

Follow-up Teenage Dream (2010) equalled Michael Jackson’s record of five chart-toppers on the same album, and made Perry even more ubiquotous in the pop landscape. Following her marriage and eventual divorce from British comedian Russell Brand, she released an updated version, Teenage The Complete Confection and concert film Katy Part of Me in 2012. She released her fourth album, Prism, in 2013, along with some standalone singles, such as “Rise”.
