The girl in the purple dress is on the TV again Trying to sell me stuff that I don't need Her friend became a princess not so very long ago So she's trying hard to make me believe Sitting here in my loneliness, she begs and she pleads As if she, or it, will meet all my needs But I won't make the call, just to see how it goes 'Cause I'm too afraid, that she might say no She really needs to talk to me, she wants me on the phone And she doesn't care that I'm sitting here alone Call the toll-free number and she'll be my friend again 'Til the money's gone, and the conversation ends So, here I am again, can't take my eyes off the screen She's waiting, while I dream and obsess It's been a long, long time since she was mine Since the day I bought her that purple dress And I don't have to look too hard to see She's got what it takes Her eyes helped me make some big mistakes Day and night the memories only haunt my emptiness She knows my name, the girl in the purple dress You were mine, we did our time We had our fun, now you belong to everyone And anyone To everyone and anyone
