Shoes Without Heels Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Shoes Without Heels Lyrics

    This love of mine is packed with stepping stone
    These shoes are made for walking in reverse
    In 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
    Weirder therein, 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 spend a pace and go the distance
    But she picked me out, she used me up, and then she put me down
    Now i'm driven til i'm crying, or i'm dreaming 'til i drown.

    She's wearing shoes without heels.
    She's walking over the floor.
    She's walking all over me
    Weirder therein, you know how it feels
    When she walks right out of the door.

    While you're busy packing underwear and other worthless trinkets,
    Spare a thought for worthless men who drag on women like they're
    Cigarettes, 'cause you watch him walk away from you
    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 watch your love turn slowly from indifference to 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 (?)
    When she walks right back through the door.
