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

1: 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?

CHORUS:
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?

2: 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:

BRIDGE:
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?

3: 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:

CODA:
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?

To other sports song lyrics:   GOING BATTY
ON THE ROPES
IN THE RAVINE
OVER-ATHENATED
SUCH A SUPER BOOB
OF COURSE IT HAD TO RAIN
To the TOP
