These Shoes

Maria Mena

I said I said I said 
I would cater to your ego and fold my hands in 
prayer for your religion 
if you would love me and walk me every day 

You said, you said, you said. 
You would not let your indecision get 
in the way of my night but you still managed 
to bring your bad temper 
to my little show 

I can not walk in these shoes 
They hurt my toes 
I can not stay in your grip 
You hurt my nose 
because you squeeze too hard let go of my head 

They said, they said, they said 
I should get a hobby like learn 
how to play the accordion 
to tell some of my records 
but my fingers 
can't keep up 

I can not walk in these shoes 
They hurt my toes 
I can not stay in your grip 
You hurt my nose 
because you squeeze too hard let go of my head
