Stripes Lyrics - 12 Stories - Brandy Clark

[VERSE 1:] 

You were lyin' there with nothing on 

But a goofy little grin and a platinum blonde 

I can't believe you'd do that on our bed 

I got a pistol and I got a bullet 

And a pissed off finger just'a itchin' to pull it 

The only thing keepin' me from losin' my head 

[CHORUS:] 

Is I hate stripes and orange ain't my color 

And if I squeeze that trigger tonight 

I'll be wearin' one or the other 

There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion 

The only thing savin' your life 

Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes 

Woah, woah, woah 

[VERSE 2:] 

I could fall in love with the prison guard 

I could sell cigarettes in the prison yard 

Don't think hard time would be that hard on me 

I could pick up trash on the side of the road 

But I'd die if I saw someone I know 

Ain't the chains, it's the clothes that's stoppin' me 

[CHORUS:] 

I hate stripes and orange ain't my color 

And if I squeeze that trigger tonight 

I'll be wearin' one or the other 

There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion 

The only thing savin' your life 

Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes 

[BRIDGE:] 

Oh, and one shot ain't worth a bad mugshot 

God knows I wouldn't be caught holdin' up a number 

While the whole town's starin' at the picture 

In the paper of me wearin' stripes 

[FINAL CHORUS:] 

There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion 

The only thing savin' your life 

Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes 

And orange ain't my color 

And if I squeeze that trigger tonight 

I'll be wearin' one or the other 

There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion 

The only thing savin' your life 

Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes 

Woah, woah, woah, woah
