[Verse 1]
E A
This love of mine is packed with stepping stone
B7 E B7
These shoes are made for walking in reverse
E E7 A
At the dead of night, you tiptoe out and leave me all alone
F#m B7
Putting on your satin slip-ons and your sultry French cologne.
 
[Chorus]
G#m C#m
She's wearing shoes without heels.
F#m B7
She's walking over the floor.
E
She's walking all over me
A
From here to there, you know how it feels
B7 E
When she walks right out of the door.
 
[Verse 2]
E A
Well, I thought that I was bigger than this town
B7 E B7
I thought I'd spend a pace and go the distance
E E7 A
But she picked me out, she used me up, and then she put me down
F#m B7
Now I'm driven til I'm crying, or I'm dreaming 'til I drown.
 
[Chorus]
G#m C#m
She's wearing shoes without heels.
F#m B7
She's walking over the floor.
E
She's walking all over me
A
From here to there, you know how it feels
B7 E
When she walks right out of the door.
 
[Bridge]
G#m C#m
While you're busy packing underwear and other useless trinkets,
F#m B7
Spare a thought for worthless men who drag on women like they're cigarettes
G#m
'Cause you watch you walk away from him
C#m
While he gets down and deals
F#m B7
Oh, he'll watch you walk away without heels
 
[Verse 3]
E A
Oh, you think that he's a fool to tolerate
B7 E B7
All the liberty you cherish and you roughly take
E E7 A
But to see your love turn slowly from indifference to hate
F#m B7
Would hurt him more than any heart that you might care to break.
 
[Chorus]
G#m C#m
She's wearing shoes without heels.
F#m B7
She's walking over the floor.
E
She's walking all over you
A
But when she's finished, I know what I'll do
B7 E
When she walks right back through the door.
 
[Outro]
E A B7 E B7 E E7 A F#m B7 (2X)
