Connie Francis' hit from 1959 comes from an age so much more innocent than today, yet singers are still dealing with the subject since human nature never changes.
[Verse 1] When you left me all alone at the record hop Told me you were going 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 [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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
