You danced around the truth
And stepped on all of my toes
You hummed to a tune I've never heard
But everyone else knows
You told me to give, asked me to pour
But the cup was already full
You turned my head, played my heart
But you didn't sing to my soul
Chorus
Under my shoe
Thats the only place for you
I'm stepping out and finding someone new
Someone else thats graceful,
With their words and with their steps
Gonna find someone who's adequate
Even though they try their best
Cause even little red embers are warmer
Than your damp, frozen wool
You turned my head, played my heart, but you didn't sing to my soul
Chorus
I gotta hand it to ya, susan
You're a might tricky gal
You played me as a fool while I played you as a pal
I planned to tan in your love light
But I ended up covered in moles
You warmed my heart, burned my head but you didn't sing to my soul
Chorus
