( David Beckham song lyrics )
MILLION DOLLAR SHOES
Copyright © 2007 - mickterry.com

It only takes a twisted ankle
to throw you out of play,
to put you on the sidelines of this game.
& don't you think the other players
might feel a bit dismayed,
might want to give you cause to feel some pain?

    Where're you going to dance
    with those MILLION DOLLAR SHOES?
    Will you make it worth their while?
    Will you keep them in the news?
    Aren't they taking quite a chance
    to be throwing it all at you?
    When's it going to all fall down?

Was this all such a good investment?
For sure it's all insured.
They say you could sit out & still get paid.
Was this all aimed to gain attention?
You've got it now, for sure.
But are you worth the price? Will you sustain?

    CHORUS

        David, David, David ...
        Have you just become Goliath
        for the shepherds to take down?
        David, David, David ...
        Will you get to be the king
        & really live up to your crown?

They say you've got expensive habits.
Just how much do you need
to keep that pretty smile upon your face?
Can all your fans afford your tickets?
Just how much of it's greed?
& how much will you give the human race?

    CHORUS

        Penalty kick, scissors kick, slide- tackle.
        Can you really fill those million dollar shoes?
        Corner kick, head it in, team- spirit.
        Is the Galaxy going to be big enough for you?
        Are things going to be posh enough for you?
