When we’re together, I am alone.
I dawdle down the street, shuffle my feet, don’t wanna go home.
There’s an antique store, I go inside.
All I got on me, is only twenty bucks and my pride.
That’s when I see them
My new tango shoes,
They are my treasure! They’re so cool.
My new tango shoes,
They are my ticket, my tools
My new tango shoes,
They’re gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes!
Like Cinderella, I am transformed.
Suddenly I’m taller, you’re smaller, I am reborn
With new courage, I go downtown.
To find you sitting at a table, girls all around.
And they see my…
My new tango shoes,
They are my treasure, they’re so cool
My new tango shoes,
They are my ticket, my tools
My new tango shoes,
They’re gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes!
See my sexy metamorphosis
Right before your angry eyes
I stick a red rose in between my lips,
Turn on my heel, and dance out of your life
You told me you love me, that was untrue.
Now that we’re over, this dance is for you.
Tango!
My new tango shoes,
They are my treasure, they’re so cool
My new tango shoes,
They are my ticket, my tools
My new tango shoes,
They’re gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes,
They are my treasure, they’re so cool
My new tango shoes,
They are my ticket, my tools
My new tango shoes,
They’re gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes
