Shoe Salesman Lyrics - Adrian Belew

Every now and then 

You find someone you really like, 

But sometimes in the end 

They may not fit you right 

My baby's in love with a shoe salesman 

The man who works down the block 

Yes, she's in love for the first time, again 

He's got her heart tied up in a knot 

With all his talk about the price he can give 

He's got her sold on the life they could live 

Just like the slippers in the window there 

He says they make such a cozy pair 

My baby's in love with a shoe salesman 

It makes me feel like a sock full of holes 

It all began when she window-shopped 

An' pretty soon he was holding her sole 

Now she's in love with that man down the street 

And he's in love with her feet 

I try to think everything is alright, 

But who's gonna keep my feet warm at night 

Oh, I love her even though 

She's made a heel out of me 

My baby's in love with a shoe salesman 

Now I don't fit her, no, I don't fit her 

Now I don't fit her anymore
