(G. Sutton, L. Kingston)


We’re just a pair of old sneakers
Stringin’ each other along
Sometimes I feel just like a heel
‘Cause I know in my soul, that it’s wrong

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
Kickin’ each other around
Eight times a week, we play ‘hide an’ cheat’
‘Til we’ve run that game in the ground

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
We know that cheatin’ is wrong
We’re just a pair of old sneakers
And we’ve been in the closet too long

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
Worn out an’ comin’ unglued
Both wearin’ rings, feelin’ ashamed
Tryin’ to run from the truth

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
And nothin’ can tear us apart
Living the lie and Lord knows we’ve tried
To stop walking on each other’s heart

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
We know that cheatin’ is wrong
We’re just a pair of old sneakers
And we’ve been in the closet too long

We’re just a pair of old sneakers
And we’ve been in the closet too long

(L. Payne, G. Jones)

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I’d be in darkness no more

Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
The very moment I saw your smile
It would be like heaven to me

There’s not any mountain to rugged to climb
No desert too barren to cross
Darlin’, if you would just show a sign
Of love, I could bear with all loss

Take me to Siberia
And the coldest weather of the winter time
And it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine

Yes, it would be just like spring in California
As long as I knew you were mine

Take me, take me
