Get Over Here (And Get Some Of That Lipstick On Me)

Get Over Here (proof of concept) - MP3

lyrics

didn't want to smudge it
didn't want to smear it
wouldn't let me touch it
wouldn't let me near it

but you only wear it
once or twice a year
get over here!
and get some of that lipstick on me

ev'ryone was lookin'
ev'ryone was starin'
smelled what you were cookin'
saw what you were wearin'

but you only wear it
once or twice a year
get over here!
and get some of that lipstick on me

it's not the taste
it's not the color
or the mess it leaves behind
it's i've been watching you all night
and i can't get you off my mind

i just shaved my stubble
but you really aced it
went to all that trouble
be a shame to waste it

'cause you only wear it
once or twice a year
get over here!
and get some of that lipstick on
just a little bit of that lipstick
my dear
get some of that lipstick on me

notes

On this initial demo, I messed up and sang "on me" at the very end, where I meant to sing "my dear", which I like better there.

I like this song, but the tone is maybe a little too all over the place. Sometimes it wants to be fun and sometimes it wants to be genuine. I was fighting off a much jazzier version, trying to get a country feel instead, and they sort of canceled each other out somehow or something. I think it could work nice and fast.
