I'm gonna steal your shoes and sprinkle tacks outside your door
So I'll be sure that you can't walk out on me any more
You say you're back for good, but just in case a little rat creeps in
I'm gonna steal your shoes so you can't leave again

You keep in shape just walking in and out on me
I've never known the reason why
But no matter what the reason it's too hard on me
I've got a little plan I'm gonna try

I'm gonna steal your shoes and sprinkle tacks outside your door
So I'll be sure that you can't walk out on me any more
You say you're back for good, but just in case a little rat creeps in
I'm gonna steal your shoes so you can't leave again

I'll admit that you should get your exercise
But not by trampling on my heart
Next time that runaway look come gleaming in your eyes
That's when my little plan is gonna start

I'm gonna steal your shoes and sprinkle tacks outside your door
So I'll be sure that you can't walk out on me any more
You say you're back for good, but just in case a little rat creeps in
I'm gonna steal your shoes so you can't leave again

I'm gonna steal your shoes so you can't leave again
