Nice Shoes
She puts on her make-up,
And does up her hair.
She wants to look good
‘cause she knows he’ll be there.
A little slip dress
And sexy high-heels
To catch his attention,
And spin out his wheels.
She sits at the bar stool
But stares at the floor.
She knows any minute
He’ll come through the door.
Her pulse starts to race
As she catches his scent
He’s standing behind her,
Such blissful torment.
A month now he’s known her
And, Lord, has he tried
To get her to see him.
Her scent has him fried.
She smiles and nods
as he starts to walk by.
She knows he won’t like her
She’s horribly shy.
He sees that she’s staring
His pulse skips a beat.
Maybe she knows
How she turns up the heat.
She wishes she knew
Something witty to say
So he’d know she wants him
And possibly stay.
And just as she thinks
She’s all out of luck,
He leans in and whispers
“Nice shoes, wanna screw?"
