Cuts like a knife, call me your wife,

but it’s only on the weekend.

Kinda feels like, you want me for life,

but it’s only when I’m leavin’.

My worst fear, you’ll disappear,

after one disagreement,

then I’m grievin’ yeh.

I’ll say how I’m doin’ dependin’ on who’s askin’,

I can’t talk in feelings but I can talk in fashion.

I’m like my red-bottom soles,

you can’t wear me out too many times,

too many times.

Cuz when the red starts to go

will you love what’s on the other side,

the other side?

Nobody wants dirty shoes,

nobody wants dad issues,

don’t wanna feel secondhand,

not when it comes to you.

I’m like my red-bottom sole –

if I’m not perfect will you say goodbye,

you say goodbye?

Need to know, your love won’t go,

when I got lines and creases.

Hold the weight, or fold and break

dependin’ on how I’m treated.

Give me time, break me in,

shower me with compliments.

If you do, then I’ll be soft,

the way that leather gets.

I’m like my red-bottom soles,

you can’t wear me out too many times,

too many times.

Cuz when the red starts to go

will you love what’s on the other side,

the other side?

Nobody wants dirty shoes, (dirty shoes)

nobody wants dad issues, (dad issues)

don’t wanna feel secondhand, (secondhand)

not when it comes to you.

I’m like my red-bottom sole –

if I’m not perfect will you say goodbye,

you say goodbye?

I’ll say how I’m doin’ dependin’ on who’s askin’,

I think I’m too burned out from everythin’ that’s happened. (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

I’ll say how I’m doin’ dependin’ on who’s askin’,

I can’t talk in feelings but I can talk in fashion. (ah-ah-ah)

I’m like my red-bottom soles,

you can’t wear me out too many times,

too many times. (too many times)

Cuz when the red starts to go

will you love what’s on the other side,

the other side? (oh no)

Nobody wants dirty shoes, (dirty shoes)

nobody wants dad issues, (dad issues)

don’t wanna feel secondhand, (secondhand)

not when it comes to you.

I’m like my red-bottom sole –

if I’m not perfect will you say goodbye,

you say goodbye?
