I put up with your late nights out

Sayin you gotta leave me by myself

Then you tried to dis my shoes

You had to lose

These shoes are too big for you.

I'll walk down the wall of China
Rest my feet in Timbuctu
Sleep atop the sands of Siam
That's where I am
And I ain't taking you

Make some gumbo in Colombo
Drink some tea in Tripoli
Kiss you from the mid Pacific
It's terrific
And I ain't lookin back

Have a ball in Senegal
Join a show in Tokyo
Watch the stars on cliffs of Keny
I can't defend ya
You had your chance uh huh

In these shoes I'm going to Cairo
In these shoes I'm going to New York
In these shoes your love I refuse
Cause Baby these shoes
They're too big for you

Go to Oman, build a snowman
Coco trees in Helsinki
Find a ski in sweet Hawaii
Where I'm dreaming
These shoes are taking me

Bringing justice to Chicago
Saving children in Moscow
I'll do good don't ask me how
But baby now
I best be leaving you

Aliens will come and greet me
Take me to their galaxy
Name a street between the starlight
The rest of your life
You'll look up at me
