THAT'S WHY A WOMAN LOVES A HEEL
Burns

as rec by Dinah Washington w Tab Smith & his Orch  
August 11th 1946 New York


He always knows the proper thing to say,
he makes a blue night seem a holiday,
He lies in such a fascinating way,
That's why a woman loves a heel!

You know that he's a phoney, more or less,
But when he meets a lady in distress
He handles everything with such finesse,
That's why a woman loves a heel!

You'll meet a fellow who is on the square with you,
And you ignore him,
Have no time for him!
A heel will say, "Let's go!",
And set your heart aglow,
You're won completely by a no-good so and so!

He knows just how to get beneath your skin,
He holds the aces, you can't win!
He gets a lot of goodness out of sin,
That's why a woman loves a heel!

He knows just how to get beneath your skin,
He always holds the aces, you can't win!
He gets a lot of goodness out of sin,
That's why a woman loves a heel!
