🎵 LIPSTICK ON THE RIM

(
[Intro – Spoken/Sung, cheeky]

Mmm… you see that mark?
Yeah, that one’s mine.
And trust me, baby —
there’s more where that came from.


---

[Verse 1]

Caught you staring at my glass,
tryin’ to read the shade I wear.
It’s called “Heartbreak Red,” darling —
matches trouble I don’t spare.
You smile like you’re immune,
like you’re safe from what I bring —
but every man who thinks he is
ends up learning what it means.


---

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m sweet for about a minute,
then the sugar starts to sting —
don’t say I didn’t warn you
when you feel that little cling.


---

[Chorus]

See that lipstick on the rim?
Baby, that’s a warning sign.
I leave marks you can’t get rid of,
I stain hearts the way I shine.
You think you can wipe me off
like a spill you didn’t spill —
but sugar, I’m the poison,
and you’re mistaking me for pills.


---

[Verse 2]

You say you like a “wild girl”?
Oh honey, that’s a rookie wish.
I’m the type that leaves you dizzy,
not the type you wanna fix.
You think you’re running the game?
Cute — but boy, let’s not pretend.
By the time you catch your breath,
I’m already at your end.


---

[Pre-Chorus]

I smile like I’m harmless,
but the truth ain’t soft or sweet —
you’ll be saving little souvenirs
from the nights you couldn’t sleep.


---

[Chorus]

See that lipstick on the rim?
Baby, that’s a warning sign.
I leave marks you can’t get rid of,
I stain hearts the way I shine.
You think you can wipe me off
like a spill you didn’t spill —
but sugar, I’m the poison,
and you’re mistaking me for pills.


---

[Bridge – Ska Rhythm Drops, Horns Answer Phrases]

Ooh, you thought you had control?
That’s adorable — bless your soul.
You stepped into the fire slow,
and now you’re burning head to toe.
Try to scrub me off your skin —
but darling, I just sink right in.


---

[Final Chorus – Bigger, Brassier, More Attitude]

See that lipstick on the rim?
Baby, that’s my signature.
Once you taste the heat I bring,
there ain’t no cure, no clean, no blur.
You thought you’d shake me easy —
oh, how cute your little thrill…
But baby, I’m the poison —
and you never stood a chance
against my spill.


---

[Outro – Spoken, sly grin]

Wipe it, wash it, rub it, hide it…
doesn’t matter, sweetheart.
My mark sticks.
Better get used to it.
