[Chorus]
If you're gonna walk on my love, baby
The least you can do
Is take off your shoes, oh
If you're gonna walk on my love, woman
The least you can do
Is take off your shoes
Now how can you hurt me so bad, baby
After I’ve been so good to you? (Well, uh)
[Verse 1]
I’m coming home last night
About half past ten
I saw you with another man
Coming out of the Dewdrop Inn
I recognized the dress I bought you
To match your pretty red shoes
You said if I didn't a touch you, woman
You know it couldn’t have been you
[Chorus]
If you're gonna walk on my love, woman
Then the least you can do
Is take off your shoes, oh, Lord
How can you hurt me so bad, baby
After I've been so good to you?
[Verse 2]
Your love is so good, baby
It's hard to complain and
I've been out here knocking
For fifteen minutes in the cold
And pouring rain
I hear the music played inside
So you know, I know you're at home
And who's in there with you, baby?
I believe you’re doing me wrong
[Chorus]
If you're gonna walk on my love, woman
Then the least you can do
Is take off your shoes
Why you hurt me so bad, baby
After I've been so good to you?
[Bridge]
Now haven’t I been good to you?
Now ooh-wee, baby (Uh-huh)
[Chorus]
If you're gonna walk on my love, woman
Then the least you can do
Is take off your shoes then
If you're gonna walk on my love, woman
The least you can do
Is take off your shoes then
I wanna know
How you can hurt me so bad, baby
You know after
After I've been so good to you?
[Outro]
Oh, Lord, yeah, yeah, yeah
