Shoes Without Heels Lyrics - King Of America - Elvis Costello

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.
