Ain't nobody gonna put me down
I'm takin' care of myself
Ain't nobody gonna turn around
Try to put me on the shelf

Ain't nobody gonna give me hell
I've been there before
People lie, they gonna break my heart
Stick their foot in my door

I'll put on my red shoes
Then we'll go dancin'
Maybe romancin'
No, I won't be blue no more

Red shoes
Giving me freedom
Boy, you should see them
Write the Daily News

Sit me back in my easy chair
So, baby, see
People ask, whatcha' doin' boy
They don't know where I've been

I've been wanderin' high and low
Awaiting the day
All I want is some peace of mind
I need somebody to say

Go put on your red shoes
Then we'll go dancin'
Maybe romancin'
No I won't be blue no more

Red shoes
Giving me freedom
Boy, you should see them
Write the Daily News

Ain't got no money
Ain't got no home
But I'm gonna make it
'Cause I ain't alone

Searching for reasons
Leaving me blind
Some people tell me
I'm an easy kind
I'm an easy kind
Oh, I'm an easy kind

I'll put on my red shoes
Then we'll go dancin'
Maybe romancin'
No, I won't be blue no more

Red shoes
Giving me freedom
Boy, you should see them
Write the Daily News

Red shoes
Red, red shoes
Red, red shoes

Red shoes
Red, red shoes
Red, red shoes
Go put on your red shoes
