Dark red lipstick is the shade that represents a girl’s confidence and will to move on. Steve Lacy sees this as a bad sign and begs for her not to give up on them. He tries to see it from her perspective and offers that maybe she’s fine and it’s himself that’s in the wrong.
Dark Red Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Something bad is 'bout to happen to me
I don't know what, but I feel it coming
Might be so sad, might leave my nose running
I just hope she don't wanna leave me (Babe)
[Chorus]
Don't you give me up, please don't give up
On me, I belong, with you, and only you, babe
Only you, my girl, only you, babe
Only you, darling, only you, babe
Only you, my girl, only you, babe
Only you, darling, only you
[Verse 2]
Something bad is 'bout to happen to me
Why I feel this way? I don't know, maybe
I think of her so much, it drives me crazy
I just don't want her to leave me (Babe)
[Chorus]
Don't you give me up, please don't give up
On me, I belong with you, and only you, babe
Only you, my girl, only you, babe
Only you, darling, only you, babe
Only you, my girl, only you, babe
Only you, darling, only you
[Bridge]
What if she's fine?
It's my mind that's wrong
And I just let bad thoughts
Linger for far too long
What if (If) she’s fine? (Fine)
It’s my mind that’s wrong
And I just (Just) let bad thoughts (Thoughts)
Linger for far too long
[Chorus]
Don't you give me up, please don't give up
On me, I belong, with you, only you, babe
Only you, my girl, only you, babe
Only you, darling, only you, babe
Only you, my girl, only you, babe
Only you, darling, only you
