To be or not to be
Not!

Hold up, bring the beat back

Stop, I ain't ready yet

Wait, let me fix my hair (yes, yes)

Yes ma'am (yes, ma'am)
Yes (So now pass me my dress)

I think I'm ready
Been locked up in the house way too long
It's time to get it
'Cause once again he's out doing wrong
And my girls are so real
Said it's been a minute since I had some
He's been acting up, but he won't be the only one

[Bridge]
(Oh) 'cause when he acts wrong (oh) is when you put it on
(Oh) get him uptight, (oh) this is your song
(Oh) poke out your back, (oh) time to impress
(Oh) pull out your freakum dress

[Chorus]
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, put your freakum dress on
Oh, every woman got one
Oh, Shut it down for when the time comes
Oh, So pull out the big gun
Oh, and put your freakum dress on

Soon as you saw me, turned on by how the dress was fitting right
Short and backless (backless, backless)
See my silhouette in the moonlight
Such an attraction, keep telling me how my outfit's so nice
Little did he know
Ha my man gonna take it off tonight

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

All the ladies, (oh) you wicked all dressed up in your dresses
And your best-est for no reason
Get ready to freakum, freakum

When you put it on, it's an invitation
When they play your song, get on up and shake it
Pokin' out on your back, you don't have to waste it
Spinnin' all around, then take it to the ground and...
Spinnin' all around, then take it to the ground and...

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Ladies, lookie here, when you been with your man for a long time (oh)
Every now and then you gotta go back in the closet
And pull out that freakum dress (oh) uh

I got my freakum dress on
I got my freakum dress on (oh)
I got my freakum dress on
I got my freakum dress on (oh)
