Lyrics
I told my best friend it was you I adore
He said quit talkin I can't listen no more
lipstick and lies and smolderin' eyes
She's got you fooled with her lipstick and lies
I told my Daddy I was gonna make you mine
He said Son she ain't nothin but lipstick and lies
Lipstick and lies and smolderin' eyes
She'll only break your heart with her lipstick and lies
I told the preacher man to marry us tight
He said you marry her you'll need last rites
Lipstick and lies and smolderin' eyes
She'll put you under with her lipstick and lies
She gets just what she wants without even trying
and her red hot lips just keeps on lying
I shoulda known that they were telling me true
I shoulda run as far as I could from you
Lipstick and lies and smolderin' eyes
I was a sucker for your lipstick and lies
When you were kissing me was on top of the world
but then you went away the first time we quarreled
Lipstick and lies and smolderin' eyes
I felt the fire in the your lipstick and lies
She gets just what she wants without even trying
and her red hot lips just keeps on lying
And now you're gone, it was a whirlwind romance
come back again girls I'll take another chance
on lipstick and lies and smoldering eyes
I'm like moth drawn to your lipstick and lies.
