YOU COME IN
WHILE I'M SITTIN'
AT THE MIRROR
YOU WANNA SAY
YOU KNOW
THAT I LOOK NICE
I SIT IN
DESPERATE SILENCE
AND I LISTEN
AND WITH A CUTTING EYE
YOU KNOW
YOU'D BETTER
LOOK TWICE
'CAUSE I'M
PUTTING ON
MY WAR PAINT
I'M ON THE PATH AGAIN
AND BEFORE YOU SAY
IT LOOKS GREAT
YOU'D BETTER LOOK
AGAIN
THE RED IS FOR
THE ANGER THAT YOU
PUT ME THROUGH
AND FOR
ALL THOSE NIGHTS
I FELT ALONE
YOU SEE
A SHADE OF BLUE
I'LL ADD A DASH
OF YELLOW
FOR THE COWARD
THAT YOU'VE BEEN
AND THE BLACK WILL BE
YOUR NIGHTS AHEAD
AND MY SHADOW
IN YOUR BED
I'M PUTTING ON
MY WAR PAINT
THERE'S NOTHIN'
YOU CAN SAY
TO MAKE IT BETTER
AND THERE'S
NO APOLOGY
TO CHANGE MY MIND
I GUESS
I COULD HAVE SENT
A DEAR JOHN LETTER
BUT IT'S WRITTEN
ON MY FACE
IT'S WAR PAINT TIME
'CAUSE I'M
PUTTING ON
MY WAR PAINT
I'M ON THE PATH AGAIN
AND BEFORE YOU SAY
IT LOOKS GREAT
YOU'D BETTER LOOK
AGAIN
THE RED IS FOR
THE ANGER THAT YOU
PUT ME THROUGH
AND FOR
ALL THOSE NIGHTS
I FELT ALONE
YOU SEE
A SHADE OF BLUE
I'LL ADD A DASH
OF YELLOW
FOR THE COWARD
THAT YOU'VE BEEN
AND THE BLACK WILL BE
YOUR NIGHTS AHEAD
AND MY SHADOW
IN YOUR BED
I'M PUTTING ON
MY WAR PAINT
I'M ON THE PATH AGAIN
I'M PUTTING ON
MY WAR PAINT
I'M ON THE PATH AGAIN
I'M PUTTING ON MY
THE RED IS FOR THE
ANGER THAT YOU
PUT ME THROUGH
I'M PUTTING ON MY
FOR ALL
THE NIGHTS ALONE
YOU SEE
A SHADE OF BLUE
I'M PUTTING ON MY
THE RED IS FOR THE
ANGER THAT YOU
PUT ME THROUGH
I'M PUTTING ON MY
FOR ALL
THE NIGHTS ALONE
YOU SEE
A SHADE OF BLUE
I'M PUTTING ON
MY WAR PAINT
