Lyrics
Put your best foot forward
But you know I got two left feet
I could make this better
In a letter that will never be
If I drove in time
Would you like what I see
Put your best foot forward
My baby just sang to me
Chorus:
Pushin the pedal to the floor
I left my suitcase by the door
Between flamingos and that motel by the sea
I've waited every single step
Held my breath till 84
Til my Stilettos got the better part of me
Put your best foot forward
I only get one call to make
But everyone's real nice
I get to shop for Gucci when I'm at the Betty
And Jimmy is so lovely
He says hello
but now I must be going
Put your best foot forward
But you know I got therapy
And a shade on my lips
That's as blue as Tiffany's
If I drove in time under moonlit canopies
Put your best foot forward
My baby just sang to me
Pushin the pedal to the floor
I left my suitcase by the door
Between flamingos and that motel by the sea
I've weighed down every single step
And held my breath till 84
Til my Stilettos got the better part of me
I've waited every single step
And held my breath til I was bored
Til my Stilettos got the better part of me
I must be going
