Ada Shymore - I'm Trouble Wearin' Red Lipstick!

 Ada Shymore, after trying various styles, has found her style in jazz. The first song she recorded for Big And Tall Records was No Way, Big Boy!, a song concerning a refusal to engage in sex with an over-endowed man. Her language was as raunchy as befits the subject, but we've never rejected a song because of language. We look for music and expressive qualities above language. Like it or not, modern  times has seen formerly taboo words and phrases being heard in the mainstream. Having said that, it's been interesting to see Ms Shymore's evolution that has gone through rock, pop, the profane, and jazz. 

Ms Shymore is still associated with the musicians that make up The Boogie Men, but by mutual agreement, she's dropped them from her recordings. She still works with them, but not exclusively as she works with other groups, some of them that are recording artists with us

Yeah, I may look like a real hot chick
But I'm trouble wearin' red lipstick!
 
You might think I'm a pushover
But you don't know how wrong you are
Might think I'm like a bed of clover
My resistance is ajar
That I'm all painted up because
I need all the help I can get
But  I ain't lookin' for no Santa Claus
Trust me, I can be a real threat
 
Be honest with me, you'll likely see
A woman that is faithful and true
But I can be trouble in the nth degree
If you treat me like an old dirty shoe
 
Yeah, I may look like a real hot chick
But I'm trouble wearin' red lipstick!
 
Now all that might seem I'm a drag
Man, that's furthest from the truth!
Ain't  talkin' to you no gag
But I sure ain't no kissin' booth!
You get skiddish bein' honest
Best haul your ass away from me
You can do that what you've promised
I'll do it too, I guarantee
 
Be honest of mind, you'll likely find
A woman that will treat you right
But if you think that I am blind
You ain't never seen such a sight!
 
I could be a really hot lady
But if you're anything shady
Be warned, I don't sulk and pout!
I'll chew you up and spit you out!
