Shoes Without Heels

This love of mine is like a stepping stone

These shoes are made for walking in reverse

At the dead of night you tiptoe out and leave me all alone

Putting on your satin slip-ons and your sultry French cologne

She's wearing shoes without heels

She's walking over the floor

She's walking all over me

From here to there and you know how it feels

When she walks right out of the door

Well, I thought that I was bigger than this town

I thought I'd stand the pace and go the distance

But she picked me and she used me up and then she put me down

And now I'm driven till I'm crying or I'm dreaming till I drown

She's wearing shoes without heels

She's walking over the floor

She's walking all over me

From here to there and you know how it feels

When she walks right out of the door

While you're busy banking underwear and other useless trinkets

Spare a thought for worthless men who drag on women like they're cigarettes

'Cos you watch you walk away from him

While he gets down and deals

Oh, he'll watch you walk away without heels

Oh, you think that he's a fool to tolerate

All the liberty you cherish and you roughly take

But to see your love turn slowly from indifference into hate

Would hurt him more than any heart that you might care to break

She's wearing shoes without heels

She's walking over the floor

She's walking all over you

But when she's finished, I know what I'll do

When she walks right back through the door
