Backwards in High Heels

|
|||
|
Verse 1
Well how’d you walk around in those high heels baby?
It sure looks hard to sustain
And how’d you keep a friendship with two faced ladies?
It looks so hard to maintain
Verse 2
Do you think they talk about you when you’ve left the room?
I wonder what do they say?
But your Mamma always said things are better left unsaid
It’s always been the same
Chorus
Don’t think about it girl just be yourself
You know that’s all you can do
I’ll tell you the words a wise man once said
All you can be is you........all you can be is you
Verse 3
Do you have to paint your face on when you go out to war?
couldn’t you just go unarmed?
do you really think you need it to get yourself a boy?
couldn’t you just use your charms?
Chorus
Verse 4
Well how’d you walk around in those high heels baby?
It don’t look good for your health
Do you do it for the boys or to compete with the ladies?
or is it just for yourself
Chorus

Verse 1
Well you’ve got all the things you wanted to have since you were small
But now you realise they don’t mean nothing at all
Verse 2
Well you took without a care for anything, or anyone but you
But the time has come to look within yourself and seek the truth
Bridge
Don’t you know the things you own
End up owning you
Verse 3
Your head’s in pieces you don’t know whether
Your coming or going and when this will end
You’ll never find peace if you just want more
The shadow of greed is cast on your soul x2

Verse 1
Well my mind it feels so empty
When I ain’t there with you
Read a book from start to finish
In the time it takes to sing these blues
Chorus
Cos I know you’ll be waiting
In anticipation of how I feel way down in the corner of my soul
As the world keeps turning
We’ll never stop learning and review when my baby and I get time alone, all alone
Verse 2
Take a walk right by the river
on a beautiful summers day
and it doesn’t feel like nothing
will ever get in our way
Chorus
Verse 3
We drift into a slumber
With the sunlight on our face
And my Highland Queen beside me
Come feel my warm embrace
Chorus

Well I’m down again my friend
Right back on those streets again
Where the stones shine for a quarter mile
Looking back I see my baby smile

Right back to where I used to be
And she’s calling me
And I’m hanging on by the skin of my teeth
So take me away, set me free, worried blues, let me be

Earth’s closest start was nowhere in sight
And the night was so black it would twist your mind
Every second passed was wasted time

Right back on those streets again
Where the stones shine for a quarter mile
Looking back I see my baby smile

Then you call saying things ain’t OK
A girl like you is slowly twisting my mind
I kind of feel you’re wasting my time

You’re up and down like a ship on a sea
Can’t you see what it’s doing to me
All I ask is that you’re more down the line
I kind of feel you’re wasting my time
Maybe baby that ain’t alright
Chorus
Maybe I don’t like your style
Maybe it’s been a while
Baby its plain to see
That a woman like you ain’t good for a man like me
Verse 3
You talk the talk but the eyes never lie
Don’t you know that I ain’t that guy
The way you’re acting should be a crime
I kind of feel you’re wasting my time
Maybe baby that ain’t alright
