Lyrics Jens Lekman

Pretty Shoes

They say you can't judge a man

Until you've walked a mile in his shoes

So I stole your shoes

And I walked a mile in them

And I still won't consider you a friend

The shoes were a pair of Nikes

I do admit I liked these

White and navy blue

You're a dick in pretty shoes

I must say you're a dick in pretty shoes

And I thought about the kid who made them

Working his ass off for a loaf of bread

And for all I know that kid just might be dead

They say you can't judge a man

Until you've walked a mile in his shoes

Does that rule apply

To a man who mostly walks barefoot

Out of all my old friends

There is one who I cant stand

So I stole his shoes

And walked across the land

And now I'm going to judge that man

'Cause you're a dick

That's your new title

For a boy so idle

For a boys so fashionless

For one hundred dollars at best

You'd kiss yourself with your own lips

I may not be Tom Cruise

But I've got a pair of pretty shoes

And I ain't giving them up to you

No I ain't giving them back to you

I'm keeping this pair of pretty shoes
