Lyrics
Short Skirts And Lipstick.
It was ten years ago, when she made her mistake,
And the love of her life let her go,
He tried to believe her, she tried to pretend ,
But the baby was starting to grow,
Well after the passion the consequence came,
A daughter with auburny hair,
It wasn't his baby she couldn't pretend,
Her life with him ended right there,
Now she's all,
Chorus,
Short skirts and lipstick,
Hair from a bottle, rings from a penny arcade,
Short skirts and lipstick hair from a bottle ,
Won't make up for the price she has paid,
Her daddy'd forgive her like he always did,
Her momma said you've gone too far,
You had a good man, you had a good life,
You even got your shooting star,
Now you're all,
Chorus Solo.
She's down to her last drop of self respect,
She asks a young stranger to dance,
Well he wants her so badly, knows that he can,
In exchange for a little romance,
Cos' she's all,
Chorus x 2
