There were no shades of gray back then
Mixing black and white was forbidden
They shared a kiss in secrecy
That jealous eyes weren't meant to see - Yeah
Behind the eyes was a broken heart
So he hired the law to keep them apart
A simple job got out of hand
When it took the life of an innocent man - Yeah
A kiss so deep shouldn't taste like sin
But he made sure they'd never kiss again
Her lipstick stain hung on his face
Until his soul reached death's embrace
What she saw made her heart turn black
And the color red wasn't comin' back
She shot him dead in a fit of rage
And then knelt down to kiss his face - Yeah
A kiss so deep shouldn't taste like sin
But she made sure he'd never kiss again
Her lipstick stain hung on his face
Until his soul reached death's embrace
She said, "No rain, no rain, no rain can wash me clean."
She killed and kissed every man she met
But the bitterness, she could not forget
She used one hand to take her life
And kissed the other to say goodbye - Yeah
A kiss so deep shouldn't taste like sin
But she knew she'd never kiss again
Her lipstick stain hung on her hand
Until she reached the promised land
She said, "No rain, no rain, no rain can wash me clean."
