If you wear red 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 knows 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

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.

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.
