If you wear me tonight,
Remember what I said tonight,
For red is the color that my baby wore
And what's more it's true, yes it is.
Scarlet were the clothes she wore,
Ev'rybody know's I'm sure.
I would remember all the things we planned
Understand it's true, yes it is, it's true, yes it is.
I could be happy with you by my side
If I could forget her, but it's my pride.
Yes it is, yes it is, oh, yes it is, yeah.
Please don't wear red tonight,
This is what I said tonight,
For red is the color that will make me blue
In spite of you it's true, yes it is, it's true, yes it is, it's true.
