Lyrics by Shoes

Black Vinyl Shoes (1978)
Composed by Gary Klebe

When do you cry?
Is it when you've been beaten
Or is it when you see yourself?

Did I mistake you
For someone who cares?
You can take back your love and your everything

All the flash is gone
And no one looks her way at all
It really hurts to see her now
It really hurts to see her fall

You were the child prodigy
I was the loser
You took me for all I could offer

You've fallen short
Of your own expectations
I've finally put myself together
