Lyrics:

(V1)
The color red, has stuck in my head
Several years later I can still see it
Caught my attention, from across the room
I felt that something beautiful could possibly bloom
Entranced with mystique, from just a shade
Too shy to reach out I chose to let it fade

(CH1)
Burnt into my mind
Even though it was quick
The way she wore that red lipstick
Burnt into my mind
Even though it was quick
The way she wore that red lipstick

(V2)
Got me wonderin’ what could have been
A Hollywood horror or a true love scene
Now I’m left guessing, and regretting
I never made an effort to reel her in
Maybe next time she catches my eye
I’ll be more prepared to come say “hi”

(CH1)
Burnt into my mind
Even though it was quick
The way she wore that red lipstick
Burnt into my mind
Even though it was quick
The way she wore that red lipstick

(V3)
I’ve sat on the sidelines, watched life pass by
But no more will I spend a lonesome Saturday night
Cuz I’m the whole package, try to believe
In the power of my inner beauty

(CH3)
Then I will find
The perfect chick
Who can rock that red lipstick
Then I will find
My perfect chick
Who can rock that red lipstick
