[Verse 1]
There's a light on in your window
There's a shadow on the street
Two silhouettes tell me it's over
The shadow knows that shadow's me
I won't crawl, I caused you trouble
Well, that's the last thing I'll ever do
But before I leave your life completely
Tell me, who wears these shoes, darling
[Verse 2]
Lord knows the days just get longer
The nights grow cold with you on my mind
And I feel like an old jukebox
Playing the same song all the time
If these crazy dreams don't kill me
It's more than I can take from you
Not knowing where or when I'll see you
Not knowing, darling, who wears these shoes
[Chorus]
My friends all say don't go to pieces
I say that's fine but if I lose
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes
My friends all think I must be crazy
I see the facts but if it's true
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes, darling
[Bridge]
Oh, and it's a chilling feeling
When I can't see him
What do I do
When I face the two of you
Oh, and it's a chilling feeling
When I can't see him
What do I do?
What do I do?
[Chorus]
My friends all say don't go to pieces
I say that's fine but if I lose
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes
My friends all think I must be crazy
I see the facts but if it's true
I wanna know who's in my footsteps
I wanna know who wears these shoes, darling
Darling
[Outro]
Come on, no, I've got nothing to lose
I wanna know, I wanna know who wears my shoes
Come on, no, I've got nothing to lose
I wanna know, I wanna know who wears my shoes
I got the blues — who wears these shoes?
I got the blues — who wears these shoes?
I wanna know, nothing to lose
I wanna know, I wanna know who wears these shoes
I got the blues — who wears these shoes?
I got the blues — who wears these shoes?
I wanna know, nothing to lose
I wanna know, I wanna know who wears these shoes
I got the blues — who wears these shoes?
I got the blues — who wears these shoes?
I wanna know, nothing to lose
I wanna know, I wanna know who wears these shoes
I got the blues — who wears these shoes?
I got the blues — who wears these shoes?
I wanna know, nothing to lose
I wanna know, I wanna know who wears these shoes
I got the blues
Ooh, I got the blues
Who, who, who wears these shoes?
Oh, I got the blues
