Once you started wearin' those shoes
Tell us what you're gonna do tonight  mama

There must be someplace you can go

In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama

There must be someone you know

God knows  you're lookin' good enough
But you're so smooth and the world's so rough
You might have somethin' to loose

Oh  no  pretty mama  what you gonna
Do in those shoes

Got those pretty little straps around your ankles

Got those shiny little chains around your heart

You go to have your independence

But you don't know just where to start

Desperation in the singles bars

An' all those jerkoffs in their fancy cars
You can't believe your reviews

Oh  no  you can't do that
Once you started wearin' those shoes

They're lookin' at you  leanin' on you
Tell you anything you want to hear
They give you tablets of love

They're waiting for you
Got to score you
Handy with a shovel and so sincere
Ooh  they got the kid glove

You just want someone to talk to

They just wanna get their hands on you
You get whatever you choose

Oh  no  you can't do that

Once you started wearin' those shoes

Oh  no  you can't do that
