The Skalatones

Lipstick On My Collar

The Skalatones


Stumbling home in the early hours of the morning sun 
after another late night but I guess I had fun 
I'm not really sure why my conscience keeps on nagging me 
I put my key in the door, there she stands, she's waiting up for me 

She has a really angry look on her face 
is this really the right place? 
I don't get no welcome embrace 
what have I done wrong? 

(chorus)
You've got lipstick on your collar 
how did it get there? - well, I dont have a clue 
lipstick on my collar 
yes, I know it's not the first time I get 
lipstick on my collar 
I can see you're upset love, but the 
lipstick on my collar 
doesn't mean anything, it doesn't mean a thing... 

The following weeks my girl made my shoes a really bad palce to be in 
I assured her I didn't know who's mouth had been so close to me that evening 
but to stay alive I've got to have a pint everynow and then 
so I met up with my friends to have a raving party again 

That night she greets me with a peculiar stare 
she scratches my face and pulls my hair 
so I grabb her and tell her: this is not fair! 
what have I done this time? 

(chorus)

But to show that I'm really her man 
the next night I brought her along 
I bought her a glass, she says it's to strong 
and finally proven wrong
