after Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra
You say you’ve done something for us
Something we can’t seem to see is true.
You been messin’ where you ought not to be messin'
Now I’ve got something here for only Y O U.
These shoes are made for throwin’
And throwin’ is what I’ll do
I take both of ‘em off right here today
And throw them both at Y O U.
You keep lyin' when you ought to be truthin’
We’re losing and you know it’s true
But I got a pair of number tens on today
That I’m throwin' right at Y O U.
These shoes are made for throwin’
And throwin’s what I’ll do
I’m takin’ both of em’ off right here today
And throwin’ them both at Y O U.
