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

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.

[@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! :)

[@Buttercup8010]

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

[@silviarebaza7646]

Someone knows why this isnt in spotify anymore? :(

[@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!

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

[@Allioop88]

if these two people could stop being perfect... wait no. never mind. keep being perfect.

[@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.

[@OreoLuv1998]

MY TRIANGULAR EYEBROWED CHILD!

[@BeanieLovesGlee]

i love how Darren smiles when he sings :3

[@user-ds4hr1bz9h]

still one of my favorite duets

[@emmamonster79]

Sorry, I just have to say this. I won't be happy if Darren goes out with anyone but Charlene. They would be cute. Plus, they sound so freaking amazing together! They both have voices that are too good for words and their personailtys are just... totally awesome. :)

[@federicacriss1410]

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

[@taurie55]

+Federica Criss i love this song too and i also love Darren

[@miatyae5447]

And Charlene

[@ussabrefencer07]

God, Charlene. You are one of the most beautiful and VERY talented women in the world. Darren. You are one of the most handsome and talented men in the world. Why do you two have to make me so jealous of you?

[@IvanLopez-rf9ug]

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

[@ohmylauren22]

lol darren moves so much when he's singing and seriously the look at 3:41 just kill me now

[@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!

[@allisonxriley]

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

[@oneboredmama4155]

still listening in 2019

[@katieo970]

So Starkid lead me to Darren, and Darren lead me to these songs. Thank god for Starkid because I'm addicted to these. :) I can't wait until Charlene Kaye has a #1 song. It's only a matter of time :)

[@joshuajorda]

I Need this in Spotify! Please!!!

[@tje8260]

WE NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY!!!😭

[@tinmuv]

2:48 Wow!

[@suppusan1]

I used to like Skin and Bones more than this song but after a while I realized how many times I've actually clicked the replay button hahahaha. they're both equally amazing songs. So are Human and Magnolia Wine

[@ellstefania2561]

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

[@KikiDizzle1014]

I am obsessed with this song! Darren looks hungover though. Lol. Their harmonies are perfect though!!!

[@anais-us3wf]

didnt know about this until do it for darren reacted to it 😍😍

[@Dino_Evan]

same

[@spencer5586]

This played at the book store the other day and I was transported back in time 🥺

[@jcmr08]

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

[@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....

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@keikustar]

Nothing's better than hearing Darren Criss singing 'I'll wear that dress if you wear that tie'

[@Dianafreaken]

"F**k that tie!"

[@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.

[@SandmanLibrary]

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

[@DarrenCrissLvr]

i have acc never felt this way bout anyone before... i am just completely, truly, madly, deeply in love with every part of darren

[@casiangelesandria]

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

[@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.

[@kennethclutton1952]

trinity knot lessons brought me here

[@kevinyoung84]

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

[@dsxbea]

I think i'm dead when i saw you... Pink sunglasses and blue sweater. You're such adorable DARREN CRISS!!

[@MegRay]

Poor Darren can't wear ties correctly anymore ;)

[@miatyae5447]

LMAO

[@coolgirl473]

i love how he does his little bouncy thing at 1:18 when he sings"dont leave just come and dance with me toniiiiiiiiiiiiiii i i i iite" lol

[@XxEloquentMindxX]

I just...I don't even. Could that boy be any more perfect?! Ahem. This song is amazing. Their voices blend PERFECTLY together. Definitely spending my money on this. :)

[@1603ronja1994]

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

[@charlotterojas]

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

[@ussabrefencer07]

I accidentally bought this song on iTunes, listened to it, and I must say, best 99 cents ever spent...

[@mkschnegg]

I love Charlene Kaye and Darren Criss so much on their own. But when they're together.. magic happens. It's always beautiful.

[@klim1004]

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