"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)
