When you left me all alone at the record hop

Told me you were goin' out for a soda pop

You were gone for quite a while -- half-an-hour 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 said it belonged to me, made me stop and think

And 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? Guess 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!
