Dressed to Kill

About Dressed to Kill

"Dressed to Kill" is a 2009 song by Preston, most notably covered by Cher in 2013. Preston's original was released as a single in the UK from his Whatever Forever LP. The song samples the introduction from Siouxsie and The Banshees' 1980 single "Happy House.""Dressed to Kill" was Preston's only single release during the almost four-year hiatus of The Ordinary Boys. The song, however, failed to chart. Because of the failure of the lead single, the album was subsequently shelved by the label. The song was produced by Mark Taylor, who had also produced Cher's megahit, "Believe." While producing her comeback album, Taylor decided to recycle "Dressed to Kill," which he had co-written with Preston. more »

I slip into my shoes and slide into the night
I'm on the loose, you're in my sights
You know it's gonna hurt you
But it's just no use
You fall in love, they always do
And I'm waiting for the next one to fall

I'm dressed to kill and you know that I will
We're dancing in the dark with my hand's around your heart
Our heads will roll and blood will spill
But how can you resist
When baby I'am dressed to kill, to kill, to kill, to kill, to kill.

Another lover struggles but it's all in vein
You wear the scars and lipstick stains
And he can't even see he's just another one
It's far too late
He's too far gone.
And I'm waiting for the next one to fall...

I'm dressed to kill and you know that I will
We're dancing in the dark with my hand's around your heart
Our heads will roll and blood will spill
But how can you resist
When baby I'am dressed to kill, to kill, to kill, to kill, to kill.
How can you resist
When baby I'am dressed to kill, to kill, to kill, to kill, to kill.

You know I'm the only one
I can make you come undone
You be a part of me, from now until eternity

I'm dressed to kill and you know that I will
We're dancing in the dark with my hand's around your heart
Our heads will roll and blood will spill
But how can you resist
When baby I'am dressed to kill, to kill, to kill, to kill, to kill.
Baby I'am dressed to kill, to kill, to kill, to kill, to kill.

Cher

Cher ( /ˈʃɛər/; born Cherilyn Sarkisian; May 20, 1946) is an American singer and actress. A major figure for over five decades in popular culture, she is often referred to as the Goddess of Pop for having first brought the sense of female autonomy and self-actualization into the entertainment industry. She is known for her distinctive contralto and for having worked in various areas of entertainment, as well as for continuously reinventing both her music and image, the latter of which has caused controversy. more »
