Darling, oh darling, you're not the same
With your lipstick, powder and paint
You're all dressed up like a what you ain't
You spray your hair a different shade
We're going to a movie, not a masquerade
War paint, war paint, you don't need a war paint, war paint
Can't you see you're not going to fight a war
You're only going out with the boy next door
When you put your head on my chest
You get lipstick on my vest
You may think that you look cute
I don't think it's funny when you ruin my suit
War paint, war paint, you don't need a war paint, war paint
Can't you see you're not going to fight a war
You're only going out with the boy next door
With the boy next door
Darling, you're not a hopeless case
Just go in the house and wash your face
There's still time and there's still hope
Let me introduce you to a cake of soap
War paint, war paint, you don't need a war paint, war paint
Can't you see you're not going out with the boy next door
Can't you see you're not going to fight a war
You're only going out with the boy next door
War paint, war paint, you don't need a war paint, war paint
Can't you see you're not going to fight a war
You're only going out with the boy next door
War paint, war paint, whoa, war paint, war paint
War paint, war paint, war paint
