Shoe Salesman — текст песни (Adrian Belew)

Every now and then

You find someone you really like,

But sometimes in the end

They may not fit you right



My babys in love with a shoe salesman

The man who works down the block

Yes, shes in love for the first time, again

Hes got her heart tied up in a knot



With all his talk about the price he can give

Hes 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 babys 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 shes in love with that man down the street

And hes in love with her feet

I try to think everything is alright,

But whos gonna keep my feet warm at night



Oh, I love her even though

Shes made a heel out of me



My babys in love with a shoe salesman

Now I dont fit her, no, I dont fit her

Now I dont fit her anymore
