Careful where you leave your lipstick
'Cause everybody knows your shade
When you put it on my collar
It don't wash off for days

Your colors are on my pillow
Mascara memories where I lay
And curled up by the window
It's a perfume high, I just can't shake
Girl I've tried and I've tried to change my mind

But baby I was never good enough to fall in love
To feel your touch or to give you every thing you'd ever need
Cause you only call me up when you're short on love and down on your luck
You let go of some other puppets strings
But if that's how it's gotta be
I hope it makes you happy

You can take what you want
You can take what you need
You can even have my foolish pride
It's never done too much for me
I will play the fool; you know it's a role I can't deny
There ain't a thing I wouldn't do
Just to have you for one more night
Girl I've tried and I've tried to change your mind

But baby I was never good enough to fall in love
To feel your touch or to give you every thing you'd ever need
Cause you only call me up when you're short on love, you're down on your luck
You let go of some other puppets strings
But if that's how it's gotta be
I hope it makes you happy
