i remember as a child
i was absolutely wild
'bout some red shoes that my aunt lucy wore
she would let me stomp around
in those high heels up and down
round the house and round the wrap around porch
and from that moment on
i've had a pair of my own
they make me feel at home and brand new
they build my confidence
as if they've been heaven sent
i feel alone
i'm puttin' on my red shoes
i begged mama
pretty please
