When we're together I am alone
Dawdle down the street
Shuffle my feet don't want to go home
There's an antique store, I go inside
All I have on me
is only twenty bucks and my pride
(that's when I see them)

My New Tango Shoes
They Are My Treasure! They Are So Cool!
My New Tango Shoes
They Are My Ticket! My Tools!
My New Tango Shoes!
Are 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 re-born
With new courage I go downtown
To find you siting at a table
girls all around
(and they see my)

My New Tango Shoes
They Are My Treasure! They Are So Cool!
My New Tango Shoes
They Are My Ticket! My Tools!
My New Tango Shoes!
Are Gonna Help Me Dance Away From You!
My New Tango Shoes!

...see my sexy metamorphosis right before
your very eyes...
I stick a red rose in between my lips
turn on my heel - dance out of your life!

You told me you loved me
that was untrue
Now that were over this dance is for you:
TANGO!
