Lipstick
Bleeding Knees Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So, uh, me and Betty were hanging out by the bleachers and, uh
It was a Saturday night and the stars were out
And I reached for her hand and I held it tight
Oh boy, I held her hand with all my might
I looked and her and I, I couldn't help but smile
I knew I could hang out with her for a little while
So I moved in closer and I, I took a chance
And I asked this girl, "Can I have this dance?"

Hey girls, come on down
Put on your shoes and gather 'round
Oh yeah, it's fine to dance with me
I don't mind how you move
Ooh, as long as you're looking smooth
Oh yeah, it's fine to dance with me

We can swing all night long
Underneath the stars
And when the night's over
We'll make out in our cars

Oh boy, you better watch out, uh
Yeah, I know what you're talking about
Oh yeah, it's fine to dance with me
We can get down real low
We can move oh, so slow
Oh yeah, it's fine to dance with me

We can swing all night long
Underneath the stars
And when the night's over
We'll make out in our cars

We can swing all night long
Underneath the stars




And when the night's over
We'll make out in our cars
