Eric Anderson - Lips and Dollars lyrics

I told all my friends, dear That you've got the loveliest smile In hopes that you'd hear Come ask me to drink with you; stay for a while Tell me: did it work? Did the attention feel nice? Tell me: did it hurt When I said I won't sting you then I did so twice? My biggest mistake was my heart on my sleeve I wore it as cuff links and you took them from me My biggest gamble was my lips and dollars Locations of both turned my cheeks crimson colors You said life is like a rubber band You then then snapped a green one between your teeth You said you love metaphors I shook my head said that was a simile But I may have missed the point That the more you pull, the more you break You think I am sad but sweet And thankfully, that is all you need My biggest mistake was my heart on my sleeve I wore it as cuff links and you took them from me My biggest gamble was my lips and dollars Locations of both turned my cheeks crimson colors La de da, la de da, le de da da (x8)
