I left your key, I hit the road
I didn't wanna, but I had to let you go
I know you're shocked, I know you're mad
I know it hurts to know a good thing went so bad
And I really do hate that you hate me
(And I really do hate that you hate me)

I don't need a white veil, I got a black dress
Don't need a preacher, no no, not yet
Don't have the blues, when I've got my red wine
Out on the town or in the city
Ain't nothin' like the way it fits me
So take that gown and lay it down to rest
Cause I'm better in a black dress

I'm just a girl, I'm not a wife
I just need a little time to live my life
I wanna dance, I wanna yell
I wanna band I don't want no wedding bells
And maybe one day you'll forgive me
And maybe one day you'll forgive me

I don't need a white veil, I got a black dress
Don't need a preacher, no no, not yet
Don't have the blues, when I've got my red wine
Out on the town or in the city
Ain't nothin' like the way it fits me
So take that gown and lay it down to rest
Cause I'm better in a black dress

I'm better in a black dress, call me a hot mess
I feel so good, ooh I've got to confess,
I like the way it feels
In cowboy boots and heels
So listen up, baby here's the deal

I don't need a white veil, I got a black dress
Don't need a preacher, not yet
Don't have the blues, when I've got my red wine
Out on the town or in the city
Ain't nothin' like the way it fits me
So take that gown and lay it down to rest
Cause I'm better in a black dress
I'm better in a black dress
I'm better in a black dress
