Lyrics

SHIRT OFF MY BACK

Bob Latini

1. You?ve got just about the finest
Lady I?ve ever seen
She deserves such tender care
And yet you treat her mean
You better change your thoughtless ways
Or you?re the one who?ll lose
I?d give the shirt off my back
To walk in your shoes

2. You don?t take her out to dinner
Ya hit the bars alone
And while you?re boozin? late at night
She waits for you at home
If I could have my fondest wish
I know just what I?d choose
I?d give the shirt off my back
To walk in your shoes

Br. You take her for granted
But don?t you treat her rough
?Cause I?ll be right there waitin?
When she?s finally had enough

3. You forget those special days
No flowers, gift or call
Never ask her what she thinks
Of anything at all
Her love?s a precious treasure
You foolishly abuse
I?d give the shirt off my back
To walk in your shoes

Br. You take her for granted
But I warn you don?t get rough
?Cause I?ll be right there waitin?
When she?s finally had enough

4. She tried sayin? how you hurt her
Open heart unveiled
You had the chance to mend your ways
I?m glad to see you failed
?Cause if you think I?ll step aside
You?re in for bad news
I gave the shirt off my back
To walk in your shoes
I gave the shirt off my back
To walk in your shoes
And the only thing that you?ll get back
Is your ol? stinkin? shoes
