Shoes
Written by:  T. Hyler / J. Scott / K. Tribble

 


   Tell me about it...

Ooh!
Men.
Have you ever tried to figure them out?
Huh, me too, but I ain't got no clue
How 'bout you?

Men are like shoes
Made to confuse
Yeah, there's so many of 'em
I don't know which ones to choose
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ah, sing it to me
If you agree

There's the kind made for runnin'
The sneakers and the low down heels
The kind that will keep you on your toes
And every girl knows how that feels
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ouch, ah, sing it with me

Chorus:
You've got your kickers and your ropers
Your everyday loafers, some that you can never find
You've got your slippers and your zippers
Your grabbers and your grippers
Man, don't ya hate that kind?
Some you wear in, some you wear out
Some you wanna leave behind
Sometimes you hate 'em
And sometimes you love 'em
I guess it all depends on which way you rub 'em
But a girl can never have too many of 'em

It's amazing what a little polish will do...
Men are like shoes...

Some make you feel ten feet tall
Some make you feel so small
Some you want to leave out in the hall
Or make you feel like kicking the wall
(yeah, yeah, yeah)

Ah, sing it with me, girls
Ooh! (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mmm..

(Repeat Chorus)

Some can polish up pretty good...
Ah, men are like shoes..

(Instrumental)

It's amazing what a little polish will do
Some clean up good, just like new
Some you can't afford, some are real cheap
Some are good for bummin' around on the beach

You've got your kickers and your ropers
Your everyday loafers, yeah some that you can never find
You've got your slippers and your zippers
Your grabbers and your grippers
And man, don't ya hate that kind?

(Repeat Chorus)

I ain't got time for the flip-flop kind...
Men are like shoes!

BILLBOARD REVIEW:
 
While the CD "Music From and Inspired By Desperate Housewives" is at times gratifying (LeAnn Rimes' "We're Running Out of Time") and amusing (Martina McBride's "Harper Valley PTA"), more often it sounds like reheated rejects from the contributors' albums. Nowhere is this more apparent than on Shania Twain's "Shoes," over which one could lay most any of her clever-word-play hits from earlier in the decade. The song is so generic, in fact, that it is tough to decide which track it most mimics. Even so, country radio is indulging the release, which is somewhat of a mystery given the new generation of female artists reinvigorating the scene. Twain certainly remains a major talent with plenty left to say, but these "Shoes" have no soul.
