Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida movie - My Strongest Suit lyrics

rate me

Song by Spice Girls<br /><br>

In life one has to face a huge assortment<br>

Of nauseating fads and good advice<br>

There's health and fitness, diet and deportment<br>

And other pointless forms of sacrifice<br>

<br>

Conversation, wit, I am a doubter<br>

Manners, charm, they're no way to impress<br>

So forget the inner me, observe the outer<br>

I am what I wear and how I dress<br>

<br>

Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere<br>

Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere<br>

Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere, ooh<br>

Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere<br>

Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere<br>

Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere, ooh<br>

<br>

Now I believe in looking like my time on earth is cooking<br>

Whether polka-dotted stripes or even checks<br>

With some glamour guaranteeing every fiber of my being<br>

Is displayed to quite remarkable effects<br>

From your cradle via trousseau to your death bed you're on view so<br>

Never compromise accept no substitute<br>

I would rather wear a barrel than conservative apparel<br>

A dress has always been my strongest suit<br>

<br>

Staying in or hitting townwards, from the top and working downwards<br>

I ensure that every stitch is stitched in time<br>

Whether wig or hat or turban, whether clad boudoir or urban<br>

Not to strut your stuff outrageously's a crime<br>

And the few who are invited to my wardrobe are delighted<br>

As they wander through my things to find en route<br>

That in negligee or formal I am anything but normal<br>

A dress has always been my strongest suit<br>

<br>

Now you don't need a recital of the reasons why its vital<br>

That tonight I simply have to look my best<br>

That from coronet to sandal no one else is worth a candle<br>

That I couldn't make more impact if I'm dressed<br>

So bring me out my finest, most audacious, my divinest<br>

Most revealing, most expensive and to boot<br>

Most arresting, most heart-stopping, most free-flowing, most eye-popping<br>

A dress has always been my strongest suit<br>

<br>
