Lyrics by Shoes

Black Vinyl Shoes (1978)
Composed by Gary Klebe

---

I jumped at every chance you gave me
Every time you looked my way
You're too cool, you see right through
You see right through the things I saw

Not me, I don't know where it all went wrong
You can steal the night, but not me

I answered the phone, said hello
What a way she has with words
All the times I thought I knew her
What a way to say goodbye

She tried so hard to tear me down
I've been through this all before
First they give you everything
Then they take it back and more
