Lyrics: Tango Shoes

When we're together, I am alone
I dawdle down the street, shuffle my feet, don't wanna go home
There's an antique store, I go inside
All I got on me, is only twenty bucks and my pride
(That's when I see them!)

My new tango shoes, they are my treasure! They're so cool!
My new tango shoes, they are my ticket! My tools!
My new tango shoes, they're gonna help me dance away from you!
My new tango shoes!

Like Cinderella, I am transformed
Suddenly I'm taller, you're smaller, I am reborn!
With new courage, I go downtown
To find you sitting at a table, girls all around
(And they see my...)

My new tango shoes, they are my treasure! They're so cool!
My new tango shoes, they are my ticket! My tools!
My new tango shoes, they're gonna help me dance away from you!
My new tango shoes!

...see my sexy metamorphosis right before your angry eyes...
I stick a red rose in between my lips, turn on my heel, dance out of your life!

You told me you love me, that was untrue
Now that we're over, this dance is for you
(Tango!)

My new tango shoes, they are my treasure! They're so cool!
My new tango shoes, they are my ticket! My tools!
My new tango shoes, they're gonna help me dance away from you!
My new tango shoes!
