Lyrics for Newspaper Gown

You can come over Whenever you want You can get dressed up And I'll show you off We could go dancing Or hang around town Whatever you want In your newspaper gown Our friends think we're lovers Or so I have heard And they try for confessions And I say not a word So we let them keep guessing 'Til they figure us out Our made-up wedding In your newspaper gown We are placing our bets They are making the call We are going all in Cannot win it all And my wheels, they keep spinning I am turned upside down And we'll be the headlines In your newspaper gown What if I told you What your friends think is true? At the end of my day All I want is you Would it destroy you? Would you not want me around? Am I a new pair of scissors For your newspaper gown? We take our chances And we risk it all I'm willing to let go But not willing to fall We can be married tonight The news would astound Announcements made From your newspaper gown
