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
[ guitar ]
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 I bought the shoes that just walked out on me
I Bought The Shoes That Just Walked Out On Me was written by Steve Stone & Red Simpson.
