Cherry Red

Cherry-red lipstick on the bathroom sink

Leather jacket hanging off one shoulder You said,

“Don’t go looking for trouble tonight”

Baby, you should know me better

There’s a black car waiting at the curb And a stranger smoking

underneath the streetlight

I don’t know his name yet But I already know I’m gonna

find out

I can hear my mama in my head Saying,

“Girl, don’t you dare”

But there’s a little devil in my dress And I

kinda like her there

Cherry red, cherry red

Running through my head One more kiss,

one more night One more wrong that feels so right Cherry red,

cherry red You know exactly what you did I should go,

but instead I’m wearing cherry red

Cheap perfume and a motel key

Your hand on the small of my back

You look like trouble in a photograph And I look like trouble

right back

Everybody’s talking too loud The band is shaking the floor

You ask me if I’m leaving I say,

“I wasn’t planning to before”

Maybe I’ll regret this tomorrow Maybe that’s tomorrow’s problem

Tonight the only thing I’m thinking Is

how you got me talking

Cherry red, cherry red

Running through my head One more kiss,

one more night One more wrong that feels so right Cherry red,

cherry red You know exactly what you did I should go,

but instead I’m wearing cherry red

Turn the lights down

Turn the music up If I’m gonna make a mistake I wanna

make it loud enough

Cherry red, cherry red Like a warning I ignored One more kiss,

one more night Then I’ll worry about it when the sun comes

up Cherry red, cherry red I know exactly what this is I

should go, but instead I’m wearing cherry red (yeah,

cherry red!)

Cherry red…

Don’t look at me like that.
