(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

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.

Lipstick on you collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on you collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
Cause, lipstick on you collar told a tale on you, yeah.

--- Instrumental ---

You said it belonged to me, made me stop and think
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 answers yes.

Lipstick on you collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on you collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
Cause, lipstick on you collar told a tale on you, boy.

Told a tale on you, man.
Told a tale on you, yeah.
Told a tale on you...
