Well I just can't get myself together anymore
I believe I need the love I had
Oh baby, we had it all
Walk in my shoes
This hurt inside is too much for me
Just walk in my shoes
You'll see I want the love that used to be
Try on my heartache
Go ahead and try it on for size
Just walk in my shoes
And you'll see through someone else's eyes
What you've done to me
I fell apart when you walked out
And I just can't get myself together anymore
I believe I need the love I had
Oh baby, we had it all
Why don't you walk and walk into my shoes
And you'll wear a smile that isn't real
Just walk in my shoes
And you'll know how broken up I feel
Try out each new day
Wear the cloak of loneliness I know
Just walk in my shoes
Or do you since you let me go
Keep on walkin', walk on, ye-e-e-a-a-ah
You got to keep on walking, baby
Darlin' I fell apart
Baby, baby, baby, when you walked out
And I just can't get myself together anymore
'Cause I need, I need the love we had
Oh baby, why did you go
Why don't you walk an' walk an' walk an' walk into my shoes
Ye-e-e-a-ah, you gotta, gotta, gotta walk in my shoes
Well, why doncha walk, you gotta, gotta........FADE
