I planned on wearing a fancy

Ruffled halter top to a banquet,

And when i arrived some of the people snickered.

A couple of girls took me to the bathroom

And informed me I was wearing it all wrong.

They showed me how to fix it,

And I did, and then returned to my seat at the table.

A man who sat across from me all night

Kept looking at me,

Like he wanted to say something.

After the banquet was finally over,

He told me he rather liked the way 

I had it on it in the first place.

It's stunned me and I was quiet.

He smiled and so I knew my eyes had thanked him.

Maybe I'm glad now I wore it wrong,

And maybe I'll buy other clothing

That requires an engineering degree to put on properly,

And maybe I'll wear it

Improperly on purpose.
