Ira Marlowe - Lyrics - Glass High Heels

GLASS HIGH-HEELS

Now you're gone
That's how it goes
You had on your hat and coat
Before I had on my clothes
Did you see me watch you leaving from the stairs?
Sleepy-eyed and caught so unaware
But never mind. Never fear.
I won't trouble you for answers
I might not want to hear
If it bothers me, it's only just a bit
I been walking around with this old glass shoe
And it ain't your fault if it just don't fit

     Too bad, 'cause it's true
     We had some laughs
     And for a while I thought it might be you
     I'm tired of looking
     But what else can I do
     Shouldn't I hold up my end of the deal?
     Cinderella's out there
     Walking around on one glass high-heel

Any day I will see
There's a girl I'm trying to find
And she's trying to find me
Will I go from door to door from night to night?
Will I have to keep on saying,
"It's sure been great, but it just ain't right."
     Cinderella's out there
     Walking around on one glass high-heel

And I'll bet her feet are hurtin'
And I'll bet she's certain I won't ever make it
So she spends her charms on every prince
Who's just a frog and somehow learned to fake it
And I'm so tired of being alone
Out here fighting on my own and I just can't take it
But I take it
And try to tell a stranger how it feels
It's like trying to walk on one glass high-heel

     Too bad, 'cause it's true
     We had some laughs
     And for a while I thought it might be you
     I'm tired of looking
     But what else can I do
     Shouldn't I hold up my end of the deal?
     Cinderella's out there
     Cinderella's out there
     And she's walking around
     She's just walking around on one glass high-heel
     She's just walking around...
