I Bought the Shoes (That Just Walked out on Me) (1970) Songtext

von Wynn Stewart

A tavern girl, that's what you were the day I found you
But still I gave you all my love and built my world around you
I dressed you up in fancy clothes for all the world to see
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me

Yes, I bought the shoes that just walked out the door
And the ring on the hand that waved goodbye forever more
And I bought the lipstick on the lips that begged, "Please set me free"
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me

Friends that knew you tried to tell me leave her alone
But simple minded over anxious me kept hanging on
Till at last my love for you became my own worst enemy
When I bought the shoes that just walked out on me

Yes, I bought the shoes that just walked out the door
And the ring on the hand that waved goodbye forever more
And I bought the lipstick on the lips that begged, "Please set me free"
And I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
