You cut my lips, were my feelings wrong
Suggests a negative experience—possibly a metaphorical "cut" to emotions, questioning the validity of feelings.
Were you too uptight , did I come on too strong

Or is it that I'm not strong

It's just fun for the weekend

I woke up covered in makeup
Describes waking up with makeup, possibly indicating a transformation or hiding true feelings.
And that's when she said , Oh

Was I too frank

Now I'm blonde like Frank

Dyed my hair back brown
