RED (Through With My Blues) ©2007 Hattie Wilcox

I'm gonna paint my lips red
And do my fingertips
Slip into my red sparkle dress
And my new red shoes
I'm gonna order a high-priced red
And sip it oh so slow
And when I turn a few heads
I'm gonna feel a brand-new glow
I'm gonna do all I can
To forget about my man
Cause I'm through with my blues

My red eyes will dry
And then I'll be able to see
That the only thing I'm really missing
That matters
Is me

I'm gonna stay out all night and dance
And do whatever I please
Slow dance and shimmy
Leavin' my red lips on every man I tease
I'm gonna show off my new red-bird tattoo
And keep it flyin' low
And when I feel better all over
Gonna let my feel-good show
I'm gonna do all I can
To forget about my man
Cause I'm through with my blues, yeah

My red eyes will dry
And then I'll be able to see
That the only thing I'm really missing
That matters
Is me
All that really matters
Is gettin' back to the happy me

So I'm gonna bake a velvet cake for breakfast
And ice it dark red
Chill some long-stemmed cherries
And then eat it all in bed
Then I will get up and drive straight
Into the setting sun
Soakin' up the hot red shine
I know I will not be undone
I'm gonna do all I can
To forget about my man
Cause I'm through with my blues
Oh yeah baby, I'm so through with you
Hey red, you're doin' it for me
I can feel it, I'm feelin' better now, oh yeah
I'm so through with you blues
Oh, blues
