[Intro — upright bass, soft piano]
[Heels clicking]
MOMO:
You’ve been looking over here
for the last ten minutes.
[Pause]
At least try to be subtle.
[Muted trumpet enters]
[Verse 1]
Corner booth, quarter past nine
Red on my lips, little black dress tonight
You’re across the room pretending not to stare
Every time I turn, your eyes are there
Slow sip, let the record spin
You’re working up the nerve to wander in
But I’m in no hurry, take your time
Anticipation looks good in this light
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I’ll smile
Maybe I won’t
Maybe you’ll come over
Maybe you don’t
You want a sign?
Mm...
Here’s all you get tonight
[Chorus]
Lipstick on the glass
Little something left behind
Didn’t give you my number
But I know I’m on your mind
Lipstick on the glass
One red kiss before I went
I never said I’d call you, baby
Wasn’t that the point of it?
Ooh...
Let the mystery last
All you get from me tonight
Is lipstick on the glass
[Verse 2]
Now you’re finally standing by my chair
Nice introduction, confident little air
You ask my name, I tilt my head
“Maybe next time” is all I said
Don’t look so disappointed, darling
You were doing pretty well
But giving you the whole story?
Where’s the fun in that? Do tell
[Soft laugh]
I like a little suspense
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe someday
Maybe we meet again
And I decide to stay
But when the lights go low
And I walk past...
You know exactly
What I left on that glass
[Chorus]
Lipstick on the glass
Little something left behind
Didn’t give you my number
But I know I’m on your mind
Lipstick on the glass
One red kiss before I went
I never made a promise, baby
That’s what made it interesting
Ooh...
Let the mystery last
All you get from me tonight
Is lipstick on the glass
[Bridge — piano and bass]
[Japanese — soft, teasing]
もう少し知りたい?
まだ秘密のままで
追いかけてみてもいいよ
でも簡単じゃないよ
[Momo whispers]
Curious?
Good.
[Saxophone enters]
[Final Chorus]
Lipstick on the glass
Now I’m walking out the door
You can keep the little memory
Till you see me once more
Lipstick on the glass
Bet you’re smiling as I leave
Maybe next time I’ll give you more...
Or maybe
I’ll just let you dream
[Outro — heels walking away]
MOMO:
Oh—
[Footsteps stop]
And don’t drink that.
[Pause]
It’ll ruin the lipstick.
[Small laugh]
[Door closes]
