Lipgloss
Pulp Lyrics

No wonder you're looking thin,
It's no surprise you're losing weight,

When all that you live on is lipgloss and cigarettes.
Since all you consume is cosmetics and nicotine,

And scraps at the end of the day when he's given the rest,
Only receiving leftovers when he's done with somebody else,

To someone with long black hair.
He's gone with a woman who has hair just like coal,

All those nights up making such a mess of the bed.
The times you stayed up at night and dirtied the sheets with him,

Oh you never ever want to go home.
You dread the thought of leaving and returning to reality,

And he wants you so you may as well hang around for a while,
He still desires you, so there's nothing wrong with sticking around a little longer,

Call your dad on the phone.
Give your father a call to ease your mind,

He changed his mind last Monday,
He had a change of heart just a few days ago,

So you've gotta leave by Sunday, yeah.
It's time to leave, and you must be gone by the end of the week,

You've lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
You can't find your lipgloss, dear,

Now nothing you do can turn him on,
You can't arouse him, no matter what you do,

There's something wrong.
Something is amiss,

You had it once but now it's gone.
You had his affections, but not anymore,

And you feel such a fool,
You feel foolish,

For laughing at bad jokes,
For finding bad jokes amusing,

And putting up with all of his friends,
For enduring all of his friends,

And kissing in public.
For public displays of affection,

What are they gonna say when they run into you again?
What will people say when they see you again?

That your stomach looks bigger and your hair is a mess,
Your belly appears larger, and your hair is unkempt,

And your eyes are just holes in your face.
Your eyes seem empty and lifeless,

And it rains every day,
It's raining all the time,

And when it doesn't,
And even when it's not raining,

The sun makes you feel worse anyway.
The sunshine only worsens your mood,

Though you knew,
Even though you were aware,

There was no way it was gonna last for ever,
You knew it was bound to end at some point,

It still shook you,
It still had a strong impact on you,

When he told you in a letter,
When he broke the news to you in a note,

That he didn't want to see you.
That he no longer wished to be with you,

You nearly lost your mind, Oh yeah.
You nearly went insane, yes,

You've lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
You've misplaced your lipgloss, dear,

Now nothing you do can turn him on,
You can't excite him with anything,

There's something wrong.
Something is not right,

You had it once but now it's gone, Oh yeah.
You had his love at one time, but it's vanished now,

You've lost your lipgloss Honey, Oh yeah.
You've misplaced your lipgloss, dear,

Now nothing you do can turn him on,
You can't arouse his passions with anything,

There's something wrong.
Something is not right,

You had it once but now it's gone.
You had his love at one point, but now it's vanished.
