New Shoes (Postcard) Songtext

von Beyoncé

Hey honey!
Cat got your tongue?
Don't look so funny!
Mr. Comedian - joke's on you!
And, you're good at bets
So where's my money?
I know you bet I'd never make that move
So why's the house empty?
Lights off by the end of this week
I leave with what I came with, baby
I'll take the dogs, you keep the Mercedes

'Cause I'm gone
I'm not fazed
I'll walk these roads with grace
And I'll wave at you behind me with a new smile on my face
'Cause I'm walking in new shoes, now
I got a new song to sing!
When I walk in the room, every head turns
Every eye is on me!
Too bad you're not here to see it
And by the time you get this
I'll be so long gone and far
I'll send you a postcard
Uh huh, I'll send you a postcard

Hey, baby
You seen a ghost?
This ain't your lady
This is the chick that you held back
Now, all of the things you said were crazy
I checked off my list and I feel good about it
I got the new haircut
The one you said wouldn't look no good
Took that job you said I could not get
Wore that dress you said I'd never fit

'Cause you're gone
And I'm great!
I got rid of your dead weight
And I'll wave at you behind me with a new smile on my face
'Cause I'm walking in new shoes, now
I got a new song to sing!
When I walk in the room, every head turns
Every eye is on me!
Too bad you're not here to see it
And by the time you get this
I'll be so long gone and far
I'll send you a postcard
Ha, ha!
I'll send you a postcard
