[Verse 1] You came in late, red coat unbuttoned A wedding ring slept on your hand You chose the chair right by the stage You chose the chair right by the stage Like you knew where I would stand I sang the room my old sad songs You watched me like a private flame Then you smiled at the punchline And my whole night lost its name [Pre-Chorus] When you leaned in, I forgot the keys Forgot the set, forgot the sky Your eyes said stay a little longer Your mouth said maybe, on the sly [Chorus] Lipstick on the microphone Lipstick on the microphone You left your mark, you left me shaken Lipstick on the microphone (yeah, yeah) I saw the ring, I saw the truth Still I sang straight at your face One red kiss on borrowed silver And the whole room changed its place (ooh) [Verse 2] Your husband laughed at something mild From a table near the door You kept your hand around your glass Then tapped one beat on the floor I told myself, "just play the song" I told myself, "just play the song" But every word came out for you The band went soft, the room went still When you looked like you might choose [Pre-Chorus] When you leaned in, I forgot the keys Forgot the set, forgot the sky Your eyes said stay a little longer Your mouth said maybe, on the sly [Chorus] Lipstick on the microphone Lipstick on the microphone You left your mark, you left me shaken Lipstick on the microphone (yeah, yeah) I saw the ring, I saw the truth Still I sang straight at your face One red kiss on borrowed silver And the whole room changed its place (ooh) [Bridge] You crossed that room at closing time You crossed that room at closing time Like trouble dressed in silk You said, "Don't make me say too much" With a voice like spilled-out milk I held the mic with both my hands Like it could keep me from your name Then you turned back to your own life And left me with the stain [Chorus] Lipstick on the microphone Lipstick on the microphone You left your mark, you left me shaken Lipstick on the microphone (yeah, yeah) I saw the ring, I saw the truth Still I sang straight at your face One red kiss on borrowed silver And the whole room changed its place (ooh)
