When you left me all alone at the record hop, told me you were goin' out for a soda pop. You were gone for quite a while, half an hour or more. You came back and man, oh man, this is what I saw.
Chorus Lipstick on your collar told a tale on you. Lipstick on your collar said you were untrue. Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through. 'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you.
Verse You said it belonged to me, made me stop and think. And then I noticed yours was red; mine was baby pink. Who walked in but Mary Jane, lipstick all a mess? Were you smoochin' my best friend? Guess, the answer's 'yes'.
