Maeve - Red Velvet Lyrics

This kinda conversation kills a night
In the neon light from a bar below
Can hardly look you in your wandering eyes
But I flash a smile and light a smoke

Go ahead and chase her baby, I don't mind
When I see her name flash on your phone
Go have yourself a little fun tonight
But don't get mad when I have my own

I dry my tears and I call the girls
Put on my favorite leather jacket and my mother's pearls
It's my favorite way to make it hurt
When I know you're out there kissing her

Red velvet
You wanna have your cake and eat it too
Red velvet
Tell me baby, what's a girl to do?
Are you happy now?
Is it all you wanted?
I bet she tastes real bittersweet when I walk in wearing
Red velvet

Say it was nothing, say she ain't the one
And say her name like a smoking gun
Keep begging, pleading like a fool in love
Yeah guilt looks good on you, babydoll

I dry my tears and I call the girls
Put on my lipstick and I kiss him just to make it hurt
It's the perfect way to twist the knife
And prove that you can't fool me twice

Red velvet
You wanna have your cake and eat it too
Red velvet
Tell me baby, what's a girl to do?
Are you happy now?
Is it all you wanted?
I bet she tastes real bittersweet when I walk in wearing
Red velvet

Red like my eyes cryin' over you
Red like my heart when it broke in two
Red like my mustang driving out of view
Red, red, red
Red, red, red
Red velvet
You wanna have your cake and eat it too"
