Julie Roberts : Men and Mascara

Men & Mascara, Julie Roberts’ new single and the title track of her upcoming new album, builds on the foundation established by her gold-certified self-titled debut album.

The title track has just been released – download Men & Mascara now from iTunes.

“…It’s the little lady on Mercury who snags the Disc of the Day prize. Julie Roberts has something to say and the voice to say it with. Captivating in the extreme. The production on this ballad gives her plenty of space to strut her stuff as both a vocal powerhouse and an ultra expressive interpreter. The song is an earthy, gal-talk masterpiece: ‘Men and mascara always run’ she ruefully sings after her one-night-stand has vanished.”
— Robert K. Oermann, DISClaimer
“Sometimes the smartest thing to do is re-group and start over. Most programmers seemed to think this woman could be a star, but her previous singles just didn’t get much traction. This could be a strong enough song to put her back in the spotlight.”
— Bob Moody, VP/Regent Communications

“I’m a manly man, so I’ve never worn make-up, ok there was one year i did for a Hallowen party, but everyone said I was really pretty, ok? Love the new Julie Roberts.”
— Dave Geronimo, WFBE

Julie Roberts : Men & Mascara lyrics

Sunday dress hangin’ on the bedroom door
Empty bottle of wine on the hardwood floor
Last night he said she was the one
Oh, but men and mascara always run

Did I give my love too soon or wait too long
Did I take it a little too easy
Or put it on too strong
She was lookin’ for love he was lookin’ for fun
Yeah, men and mascara always run

She ain’t getting any younger
It wasn’t supposed to be this way
Starin’ in a mirror with little black rivers runnin’ down her face

Tomorrow’s gonna be a brand new day
She’ll wake up in the mornin’ and wash it all away
Last night he said she was the one
Oh, but men and mascara always run

Yeah, men and mascara always run
