Bootsy Collins Lips Turn Blue
Pick up the phone, baby
I just want to tell you a few things
Like, a long time has passed since those magical moments
When it was young you and me
When I pressed your lips and you stung me like a bumblebee
Do you remember the time when you first crossed my mind
And I kissed your lips and hugged you like an octopus, baby?
You've been strikin' my lips out sometimes (oh, yeah)
You've done it and crossed the line
Tell me where you have been going
Proud and fiеry, you ain't got no excuses
Therе's no surprise
You can't say you're sorry until your lips turn completely blue
Presenting your apologies, that's all to me you can do
Promising me that you've changed
And won't betray me never again
You're talking to yourself, don't waste your breath
When your eyes are gettin' opacy
And you're lips are turnin' blue
Tellin' me girl, I've lost all interest in you
I have vertigos
You don't care if I get blind
You don't care how I feel in my mind
Don't tell me that you want to stay here
I'll have no relief
Until you go, until you go
There are no more second chances left to give
You can knock at my door, but I won't you let in
Now my heart is broken and can't be repaired
So give it up and get out of my view
You know, you can't say you're sorry
Until your lips turn completely blue
Presenting your apologies, that's all you can do
Promising me you've changed
And won't betray me never again
You're talking to yourself, don't waste your breath
When your eyes are gettin' opacy
And your lips are turnin' blue
Tellin' me girl, I've lost all interest in you
I have vertigos
You don't care If I get blind
You don't care how I feel my mind
I don't want you here anymore to stay
I'll have no relief
Until you go, until you go
You know, I miss you baby
I'm talking seriously
Tonight I want to be with you, baby
My lips turn blue
Make a phone call is all that I could
So why don't you tell me
You'll hug me in your arms like an octopus
When your eyes are gettin' opacy
And your lips are turnin' blue
Tellin' me I have lost all interest in you
I have vertigos
You don't care If I get blind
You don't care how I feel my mind
I don't want you here anymore to stay
I'll have no relief
Until you go, until you go
