Shiny Black

You can buy a steak dinner, a few gallons of gas
You can spend all your money on a life that's too fast
Drink until dawn until you're actin' a fool
But I'm savin' up my dollars for some patent leather shoes

Shiny Black, Size 10½
You know my clothes do the talkin'
Let my shoes do the walkin'
So baby you don't have to ask
'Cause it's a matter of fact

If the clothes make the man I'm fit to be made
A diamond earring and a cool pair of shades
You gave me your number but you're never at home
I take my shoes out the closet and I go out alone

Shiny Black, Size 10½
You know my clothes do the talkin'
Let my shoes do the walkin'
So baby you don't have to ask
'Cause it's a matter of fact

You bought yourself a dress you know it's oh-so-short
Gonna wind up in trouble, gonna end up in court
I stand right beside you I'm in awe of the view
Take a look at my feet, see a smile on my shoe

Shiny Black, Size 10½
You know my clothes do the talkin'
Let my shoes do the walkin'
So baby you don't have to ask
'Cause it's a matter of fact
