CHARLENE:
every night i walked the streets
never dreaming what could happen
sad and so lonely
i saw in the mirror my reflection
staring back at me
i thought, will i ever find what i need?
but i'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
and baby we'll dance through the night
cuz no one's got what we've got going
happiness never held on to me
until you had me see
that together we're just better off
DARREN:
oh my heart's been tried
time and again
always thought that it was me but
i see now just how wrong i was
no, i haven't known you for a lifetime
but somehow i've never been more sure that you're for me
baby please
don't leave, just come and dance with me tonight
but i'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
and baby we'll dance through the night
cuz no one's got what we've got going
happiness never held on to me
until you had me see
that together we're just better off
don't be cruel to me
oh, i've wanted more
and i've been wrong before
so much learning to lose
but you're not a day too soon
so say you feel the same and
we'll never be lonely anymore
but i'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
and baby we'll dance through the night
cuz no one's got what we've got going
happiness never held on to me
until you had me see
that together we're just better off

To be fair these guys don't get any money from spotify, and would most likely get more from KZbin, but I fell you.

Darren's expression when he sings "I'll wear that dress if you wear that tie" in 1:33 omg just speechless

[@KABalto87]

[@kamwrites]

It's so nice to hear a female singer who doesn't feel the need to belt out every word. Very enjoyable, and a catchy song!

[@thewaywardpoet]

Hey Charlene and Darren! Please do consider releasing an album of duets! I can't get enough of this song and "Skin and Bones." Your voices meld beautifully together, and it'd be just awesome to hear more duets! :)

[@ilucieforever]

Darren is literally the CUTEST thing while singing. I can't even handle it.

[@techwizzard23]

So happy that 'Dress and Tie' was chosen for the fan favorite moments of Chuck and Sarah on NBC’s Chuck. Yay!

[@kellysee1721]

I JUST REMEMBERED THIS SONG PUT IT BACK ON SPOTIFY PLEASSSSSEEE CHARLENE!!

[@_corbz]

I'm crying in my tech class because his voice is so stunning and this song is so good damn what am I doing here

[@groovymoonshoes]

I used to listen to this song after every test and exam all through high school and university. Listening now after a job interview and it still hits.

[@gokyokitty]

Wow, way to kill me with the combined force of Charlenes's stunning voice and Darren's sheer adorableness. So many regrets... I'm dead.

[@Ashfullstop12]

I don't normally cry at stuff but I was just shouting "YAS DARREN SLAAAAAYYYYY!!" at the screen and crying. god, was has this boy done to me... idk but I like it 😍😜😘💓💓

[@themardbard9096]

I WISH THIS SONG WAS ON SPOTIFY!!! I love it so much!!!! 🥰✨

[@ItsMissAlToYou]

The blue cardigan Darren's wearing when he's outside looks like it's the same cardigan Charlen is wearing when they're in the studio. Cute

[@klim1004]

My favourite part is watching their facial expressions when they both sing "Tonight".

[@silviarebaza7646]

Someone knows why this isnt in spotify anymore? :(

[@user-ds4hr1bz9h]

still one of my favorite duets

[@poppylila4360]

this song is so insanely cute i cant-

[@charlotterojas]

This is the definition of a duet, ladies and gentlemen!

[@IvanLopez-rf9ug]

Every time i need inspiration i come to this video. It has the same magic that 6 years ago.

[@jcmr08]

I sometimes pretend I am Charlene and Darren looks at me like he looks at her at 3:41

[@littlerickery]

yah, darren is awesome, but no one seems to ever say how incredible charlene is. and also, their voices go amazingly together, especially in this song.

[@dinosaursandspace]

darren and those pink sunnies - i ship them so hard.

[@joshuajorda]

I Need this in Spotify! Please!!!

[@hjbwritergrl27]

after watching this a thousand times, i can officially say that this is my new favorite song. and NOT just because of Darren (although that is a contributing factor), but because it's really catchy!

[@lauumartiinez]

Their voices together = perfection

[@linlovesthedoctor]

I love how Charlene and Darren are still singing together even after Glee and Harry Potter premieres and everything. Best collaboration!

[@oneboredmama4155]

still listening in 2019

[@ellstefania2561]

you both sound so good together! i`m in love with this duet!

[@klainelovesredvines]

I love how the other starkids are casually jamming in the studio ;D

[@nastycrimeboii]

Can they just sing duets together forever and ever? That would be great.

[@tinmuv]

2:48 Wow!

[@Dianafreaken]

"F**k that tie!"

[@allisonxriley]

I love the way Darren looks at Charlene when she sings the end note

[@Meggo825]

1:48 when darren sings "that together we're just better off" OMGGG

[@federicacriss1410]

i love this song.... and i love Darren!

[@taurie55]

[@miatyae5447]

[@anais-us3wf]

[@Dino_Evan]

[@Rvlbaheuitvbs]

THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. THE PINK GLASSES. But also, GOOD JOB CHARLENE! You're an amazing vocalist! Kudos to Darren too! Fabulous as usual.

[@julieanne824]

This might possibly be the perfect summer song. It's fun and bouncy and listening to it puts me in such a good mood. I probably never would have known who Charlene Kaye was if not for Darren so thank you, Mr. Criss, I am truly grateful.

[@MissSteakingly]

Darren is a life ruiner and has made my expectations for men way too damn high. i love that idiot so much....

[@ShannonHarper]

I hope you’ve found someone who has blown through those expectations and is better than you ever imagined.

[@flowers3957]

AMO mucho está canción! Por qué no está en Spotify!?!? La ame desde la primera vez que la escuché hace un par de años. Saludos de Argentina

[@guilfoyle2008]

You know what I love, Darren went from 'MR WEAR WHATEVER IS THE CLEANEST IN THE LAUNDRY BASKET' kind-of-guy to 'MR GQ ' best dressed celebrity on the planet almost over night.

[@hayleyphillman]

I remember being so happy when they finally released real audio for this song! I miss the days when people would call me crazy for watching AVPM over and over and listening to poor quality live recordings of Darren's.

[@SandmanLibrary]

Has anybody else noticed that Darren's not actually wearing a tie?

[@kennethclutton1952]

trinity knot lessons brought me here

[@kevinyoung84]

Ditto... I'm a new fan of this duo!

[@guilfoyle2008]

I love the REAL Darren Criss songs more than GLEE songs. This is the best yet.

[@blaahblahblahh-i9y]

HISSSSSS HAIIIRRR!!!!! OMFG!!!!! HE SLOWLY KILLING MEE!!

[@zanville1]

I really love the part in the song at 2:47. I keep replaying that short part!

[@tinmuv]

That makes two of us!

[@yokokhany]

And three ! :D

[@miatyae5447]

Four!

[@casiangelesandria]

I'll wear the dress and you'll wear the BOWtie... Darren...

[@Bethanyyyxxx]

he filmed this during the time he was filming glee... that's how much he love miss charlene kaye xx

[@123alliewoof]

2 incredibly talented people doing a song together, what could go wrong? other than just plain amazing-ness

[@MegRay]

Poor Darren can't wear ties correctly anymore ;)

[@miatyae5447]

LMAO

[@1603ronja1994]

NO ONE can be as good looking and talented as Darren seems to be. He must be an Alien. Or something.

[@scabbarae]

I'll always love KAYE and her modern music, but the magic of Things I Will Need in the Past is an obsession I can't shake, even today.

[@tatters5]

Charlene was AMAZING at the SPACE Tour. She sang this song with Dylan and I was blown away!

[@Buttercup8010]

Darren's face when he loooks at Charlene for that last note... So adorable :D LessThanThree

[@TheDarrencathy]

When they sing on the street, Darren wears Charlene's blue jacket!

[@ZeldaFreak428]

At the Boston Starkid concert last night, Charlene didn't even have to introduce the song - the screams for who was going to come out had already started. XD

[@Vicky5621]

I envy people like this. People who can sing. Man, I wish I had an amazing voice like Darren Criss

[@cedceddd]

I can feel the Burt Bacharach influence in these duets. Just love it. I listen to them everyday.

[@TheRadar206]

Is it wrong that I've been listening to this for an hour straight?

[@YaDiva1973]

The way he looks over at her at the very end of the song sends my heart racing. God, I wish he would look at me like that....

[@912pinkturtle]

i can imagine this song being played at Gilly Hicks. My dream is to one day be shopping there and hear this song and just freak out and dance and not care that anyone is watching

[@klim1004]

Favourite part is watching their facial expressions when they sing "Toniggggghttttt.." :D

[@guilfoyle2008]

I changed my mind, I just want to hear songs he wrote. I'm hooked on the LOVE he sends out when he sings.

[@BeanieLovesGlee]

i love how Darren smiles when he sings :3

[@kekechanning93]

Their voices, the way they blend. Oh god. I need this!

[@Starkid1616]

And I can't get over Darren's facial expressions when he sings XD

[@Bestieoclock]

I always love Darren's facial expressions when he sings or even lip syncs.

[@kjismysuperman]

If any other girl than me had to have Darren Criss, I hope it would be Charlene Kaye. She's adorable, and them singing together makes me smile. The way he looks at her at 3:42 is so cute!

[@imanolovesyouu]

their harmonies could be legendary
