When you left me all alone at the record hop
tod me you were goin' out for a soda pop
you were gone for quite a while, half an hour or more
You came back and man oh man, this is what I saw

Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you, yeah

You sait it belonged to me, made me stop and think
Then I noticed yours was red, mine was baby pink
Who walked in but Mary Jane, lipstick all a mess
were you smoochin' my best friend, if the answer 's yes

Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you, boy

Told a tale on you, man
Told a tale on you, yeah
Told a tale on you
