(Lorrie Morgan/Tom Shapiro)
You come in while I`m sitting at the mirror
You wanna say you know that I look nice
I sit in desperate silence and I listen
And with a cutting eye,you know you`d better look twice
`Cos I`m putting on my war paint
I`m on the path again
And before you say it looks great
You`d better look again
Red is for the anger that you put me through
And for all those nights I felt alone,will see a shade of blue
I`ll add a dash of yellow for the power that you`ve been
And the black will be your night ahead
And my shadow in your bed
I`m putting on my war paint
There`s nothing you can say to make it better
And there`s no apology to change my mind
I guess I could have sent a Dear John letter
But it`s written on my face,it`s war paint time
`Cos I`m putting on my war paint
I`m on the path again
And before you say it looks great
You`d better look again
I`m putting on my war paint
I`m on the path again
I`m putting on my war paint
I`m on the path again
I`m putting on my (War Paint)
Red is for the anger that you put me through
