[Intro]
Oh, you know, baby
Oh, you know, baby
[Verse 1]
I might as well be boots
Or brogans or some sneakers
You've walked on me for a country mile
You take the part of me that's weak
And try to make it weaker
You've got your souls confused
In case you haven't heard the news
[Chorus]
Shoe soul was made for walking on
My soul was made for somebody to comfort
Same sound, but different as up and down
Tread softly now, don't stampede
'Cause my soul is the soul you really need
Oh, you know, baby
[Verse 2]
I've been your bridge over troubled waters
In your time of crisis
Your jacket laid across a puddle of mud
And when you're down and out
And in need, I've been the nicest
Red carpet, welcome mat
But, oh, my soul's worn out from that
[Chorus]
'Cause shoe soul was made for walking on
My soul was made for somebody to comfort
Same sound, but for you, I lay me down
Tread softly now, don't stampede
'Cause my soul is the soul you really need
Oh, you know, baby, yeah
[Bridge]
To walk beside
Don't mean to be a sidewalk
Shoe soul was made for walking on
Shoe soul is made of rubber, crepe and leather
Hey, my soul was made for holding on
Help me hold our souls together, oh...
Shoe soul was made for walking on
Shoe soul is made of rubber, crepe and leather
Hey, my soul was made for holding on
Help me hold our souls together, hey
Shoe soul, shoe soul was made for walking on
Shoe soul, shoe soul is made of rubber, crepe and leather
My soul, my soul was made for holding on
(Help me hold our souls together)
Hold me, baby, hold me, baby
Shoe soul was made for walking on
Shoe soul is made of rubber, crepe and leather
Ooh, my soul was made for holding on
Help me hold our souls together
(Shoe soul was made for walking on)
Help me, baby, help me, baby
(Shoe soul is made of rubber, crepe and leather)
Help me, baby, help me, baby
My soul was made for holding on
Help me hold our souls together
Help me, baby, help me, baby...
