You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

What does the nines, sixes, and sevens, mean?
Thanks.
It's Madonna. One would presume it refers to "appendage" sizes.

Actually, it's Andrew Lloyd-Weber and the phrase means, roughly,

"You won't believe me... all you see is the girl you used to know dressed
flamboyantly, but confused with you."

Possibly. I am nine. And I suppose six and seven is common--particularly
among little brown guys down in South America who might have small feet, but
I doubt that tiny. My cap size is seven; nine is awfully big; but six
would barely fit a middleschooler. Gloves? Who wears gloves these days
except OJ when he's killing someone?

As Hope pointed out, it is something else.

To be at "sixes and sevens" is to be all adither - confused - not
knowing which way to go, etc. It's all slang.

How two-faced. You're complaining because we haven't joined your writing
discussions, and when we do - you complain because we have.
