Story Behind The Song
I looked at myself in the mirror one night. I had w/ some newer lipstick that didn't wash off after a shower and was thinking about a certain man I know. I sat down and wrote the song. I had it critiqued by a publisher in Nashville and re-wrote some of the lyrics.

Lyrics
Only Gotta T-Shirt and Lipstick on
by Joanne Tramonte (C) 8/2008
Don't wanna a cigarette or an icy Coke
Don't wanna watch another TV show
Had my fill a them sitcom jokes
Just wanna cozy in and stay real warm
wrap my legs 'round you and weather the storm
Chorus:
When I called you just to say
only gotta t-shirt and lipstick on
Been thinkin' 'bout you since the rain come down.
Splashed on cologne. Brushed out my hair.
Sheets turned back, don't wanna be alone
When I only gotta t-shirt and lipstick on
V-2
Made me think a turnin' the lights down low
Lay back and hear the hail on the roof
Then smooth mint lotion finger to toe
Got to picturin' me and you
playin' the way that lovers do
Chorus
Bridge
So just hang up the phone
and rev up your truck
'cause your momma's at home
and she wants all of your stuff.
Tag:
'Cause she's only gotta t-shirt and lipstick on
She's waitin for you, and she won't wait long
With a phone in her hand and speed dial on.
when she's only gotta t-shirt and lipstick on.
