"Put Your Makeup On" lyrics

Little baby grew up fast
Living loving being last
Always with a man and thinking, "Where could this go?"
But now she's running low on cash
All the girls are talking trash
Because she's gorgeous and she can't afford the disco
So she gets on the only way she knows how
It takes a stiff upper lip to forge a new direction
She's making money and she's happier now
Playing around with the boys 'til they're sporting an erection (Oh)

You think you know her and that you're better off
But we are just like her, only in disguise
Guilty pleasures shouldn't feel guilt at all
Because they're one and the same in my eye

If you wanna go and dance (put your make-up on it)
Stop waiting for another chance (you gotta jump up on it)
Don't worry if the song won't last (better work up on it)
'Cause pretty soon it's gonna pass (put your make-up on it)
And if you need a harder proof (put your make-up on it)
You've really got nothing to choose (find your bliss and flaunt it)
Blind them with another ruse (girls will talk about it)
You really got nothing to lose, put your make-up on

Little girls know what to do
By the time that they are two
Playing dress-up in the make-up of their mother
What's a mother s'posed to do
When she walks into the room
Finds her baby, not her daughter, but the brother?
Now surely from there you can sort out the rest
'Cause it's a little taboo, and you don't want me to go there
Just know that somewhere there's a little red dress
And the babe will seduce, but she'll find no sugar anywhere

You think you know her and that you're better off
But we are just like her, only in disguise
Guilty pleasures shouldn't feel guilt at all
Because they're one and the same in my eye

If you wanna go and dance (put your make-up on it)
Stop waiting for another chance (you gotta jump up on it)
Don't worry if the song won't last (better work up on it)
'Cause pretty soon it's gonna pass (put your make-up on it)
And if you need a harder proof (put your make-up on it)
You've really got nothing to choose (find your bliss and flaunt it)
Blind them with another ruse (girls will talk about it)
You really got nothing to lose, put your make-up on

As a kid, I got a lotta shit for
Liking my music, but what is it for?
You should listen to this because it gives more
Yeah, but it sounds lousy on the dance floor

As a kid, I got a lotta shit for
(If you wanna go and dance (put your make-up on it))
Liking my music, but what is it for?
(Stop waiting for another chance (you gotta jump up on it))
You should listen to this because it gives more
(If you wanna go and dance (put your make-up on it))
Yeah, but it sounds lousy on the dance floor
('Cause pretty soon it's gonna pass (put your make-up on it))

And if you need a harder proof (put your make-up on it)
(As a kid, I got a lotta shit for)
(Ah) You've really got nothing to choose (find your bliss and flaunt it)
(Liking my music, but what is it for?)
Blind them with another ruse (girls will talk about it)
(You should listen to this because it gives more)
You really got nothing to lose, put your make-up on
