Told a tale on me................
Lipstick on your collar
by WannabeGinger
(with apologies to Connie Francis)
Lipstick on my lips told a tale on me
Lipstick on my lips said I was untrue
Bet your bottom dollar, you and I are through
Cuz lipstick on my lips told a tale on me, yeah
You said it belonged to another, made me stop and think
Then I noticed yours was red, mine was baby pink
I was thinkin', me as Mary Jane, lipstick all a mess
I wasn't smoochin' your best friend, I made all the mess
Lipstick on my lips told a tale on me
Lipstick on my lips didn't mean I was untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
Cuz lipstick on my lips told a tale on me, girl.... yeah!
You walked in quietly and found me in my own special little world. I didn't hear you coming in and had no time. No time to hide.... and the lipstick on my lips gave me away. You flew into a rage. No time to explain. Now you've gone and left without hearing.... what I want to say....... It's a little part of me, I wish I'd shared before.
I'll put lipstick on your collar, if only you'd come back. My love.

That's Going Back Some
I thought you'd be much too young to remember Connie! A tragic occurrence neatly encapsulated. I hope that (s)he gets a chance to explain,

I'm not sure who wrote the original song; however, I'm not sure Connie Francis is due any apologies. Yes, she had some horrible things happen to her; however, her opinions concerning most who participate in this site would probably create an incendiary reaction.

Memories of 1959
OMG what memories that song brings back: I was 20 and working as a swimming instructor (and Redcoat) at Butlin’s Holiday Camp at Ayr (in Scotland). The swimming pool where I did my stuff had a jukebox and “Lipstick on your collar†was top of the pops much of that summer. It never seemed to be off the Jukebox and I got pi**ed off by it. There was another song that was popular which was about the tragic death of Buddy Holly, Richard Valens and the Big Bopper.

Nice little ditty and hope she comes back?
I usually forget the Mascara!
Now I can't stop singing it, 'Lipstick on my collar told a tale on me'.

I love it Ginger! You know I love almost all music and love playing with lyrics so this is right up my alley.
Thank you!
