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.
