Next Time Wipe The Lipstick Off Your Collar is the fifth track on Sheila E.'s first album The Glamorous Life. The song was written by Prince, but credited to Brenda Bennett.
Initial tracking took place on 28 December 1983 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (the day after The Glamorous Life, the same day as In A Spanish Villa, and two days before Erotic City and She's Always In My Hair).
The song was originally intended for Apollonia 6 until Prince began to work with Sheila E. in February 1984, at which time he set the song aside for her.
Sheila E.'s vocals were recorded in the first few days of April 1984 at Sunset Sound. Next Time Wipe The Lipstick Off Your Collar is notable for featuring the first use of violin (by Novi Novog) and accordion (by Nick DeCaro) on a Prince-related track.
