Lyrics
Well did you think I wouldn't notice
when I saw the lipstick on your collar
last night
did you think I wouldn't notice
when I caught the far away look
of love in your eye
oh some people may cry
but I know its goodbye
and I just wanna tell you somethin'
you left me all alone again
with those vermilion blues
well did you think I wouldn't know when you kissed me
that your lips had been kissin' someone new
and did you think I didn't know when you kissed me
that your lips had been kissing her lips too
oh some people may shy
but I know when to cry
and I just wanna tell you something
you left me all alone again
with those vermilion blues
too soon
I knew that we'd fall apart
too soon I knew that I'd lost your heart
Well did you think I wouldn't notice
when I saw the lipstick on your collar
last night
did you think I wouldn't notice
when I caught the far away look
of love in your eye
oh some people may cry
but I know its goodbye
and I just wanna tell you somethin'
you left me all alone again
with those vermilion blues
