"Lipstick Vogue" Lyrics

Don't say you love me when it's just a rumor

Don't say a word if there is any doubt

Sometimes I think that love is just a tumor

You've got to cut it out

 

You say you're sorry for the things that you've done

You say you're sorry but you know you don't mean it

I wouldn't worry, I had so much fun

Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being

 

It's you

Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue

It's you

Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue

Oh yeah

 

Get to the slot machine almost dead on arrival

Just hit me one more time with that live wire

Maybe they told you you were only a girl in a million

You say I've got no feelings

This is a good way to kill them

 

Select the control and then insert the token

You wanna throw me away but I'm not broken

You've got a lot to say, well I'm not jokin

There are some words they don't allow to be spoken

Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being

 

It's you

Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue

It's you

Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue

 

Not just another mouth lost in the lipstick vogue (repeats)
