Both songs from His ‘n’ Hers (1994)
LIPGLOSS
No wonder you’re looking thin,
When all that you live on is lipgloss and cigarettes.
And scraps at the end of the day when he’s given the rest,
To someone with long black hair.
All those nights up making such a mess of the bed.
Oh you never ever want to go home.
And he wants you so you may as well hang around for a while,
Call your dad on the phone.
He changed his mind last Monday,
So you’ve gotta leave by Sunday, yeah.
You’ve lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
Now nothing you do can turn him on,
There’s something wrong.
You had it once but now it’s gone.
And you feel such a fool,
For laughing at bad jokes,
And putting up with all of his friends,
And kissing in public.
What are they gonna say when they run into you again?
That your stomach looks bigger and your hair is a mess,
And your eyes are just holes in your face.
And it rains every day,
And when it doesn’t,
The sun makes you feel worse anyway.
He changed his mind last Monday,
Now you’ve gotta leave by Sunday, yeah.
You’ve lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
Now nothing you do can turn him on,
There’s something wrong.
You had it once but now it’s gone.
Though you knew,
There was no way it was gonna last for ever,
It still shook you,
When he told you in a letter,
That he didn’t want to see you.
You nearly lost your mind, Oh yeah.
You’ve lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
Now nothing you do can turn him on,
There’s something wrong.
You had it once but now it’s gone, Oh yeah.
You’ve lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
Now nothing you do can turn him on,
There’s something wrong.
You had it once but now it’s gone.
Oh yeah.
HAVE YOU SEEN HER LATELY?
First you let him in your bed.
Now he’s moved inside your head.
And he directs all the dreams you are dreaming.
I saw a friend of yours today,
she called me over just to say,
“I dunno if you’ve seen her lately but God she’s looking rough”.
No don’t go round to see him tonight,
he’s already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time,
and do it quickly while you’ve still got the chance.
Do you think he’ll fall apart?
Do you think you’ll break his heart?
If you leave him on his own.
You are dreaming.
‘cause he can fasten all his clothes,
tie his laces,
blow his nose.
It’s time to teach him how to walk,
yeah, teach your baby how to walk away.
No don’t go round to see him tonight,
he’s already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time,
and do it quickly while you’ve still got the chance.
You’re not his mother,
you’re not sister & brother.
He’s not even your lover.
He’s just a piece of luggage you should throw away.
No don’t go round to see him tonight,
he’s already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time,
and do it quickly while you’ve still got the chance.
No don’t go round tonight,
you’ll never make it right.
He’s already made such a mess of your life.
Find something else to do with your time,
and do it quickly while you’ve still got the chance.
