Just Walk In My Shoes
Gladys Knight Lyrics

Walk in my shoes
Experience what I am going through.

This hurt inside is too much for me
I am hurting too much and cannot handle it alone.

Youll see I want the love that used to be
You will understand that I miss the love that we used to have.

Try on my heartache
Experience the pain that I feel inside.

Go ahead and try it on for size
Take a moment to understand how deep my emotions run.

Then youll see through someone elses eyes
You will be able to understand my perspective better.

What youve done to me
Your actions have hurt me deeply.

I fell apart when you walked out
I completely lost control when you left me.

(I just couldnt get myself together anymore)
I was unable to cope with the emotions I was feeling.

(Cause I need, I need the love that we had) Oh, baby
I need the love we had because it was so special to me.

(We had to fall)
Our love had to come to an end.

Well, why dont you walk, walk, walk in my shoes (Walk in my shoes)
If you walk in my shoes, you will understand my pain.

And youll wear a smile that isnt real
You will be able to see through my façade and understand my true emotions.

And youll know how broken up I feel
You will understand how deeply I am hurting.

Try out each new day
Experience what it's like for me to live without you.

Wear the cloak of loneliness I know
Understand how lonely and isolated I feel without you.

Or do you since you let me go
Do you feel the loneliness too, since you ended our relationship?

(Walk in my shoes) Keep on walking, walk on
Continue walking in my shoes and keep experiencing my pain.

Darling, I fell apart
My emotions overwhelmed me and I was unable to keep it together.

Baby, baby, baby, when you walked out
Your departure caused me immense pain.

(I just couldnt get myself together anymore)
I was in such distress that I was unable to control my emotions.

(Cause I need, I need the love that we had) Whoa, oh, baby
I need the love that we shared, it meant everything to me.

(We had to fall)
Our love had to end, even though it was painful.

Well, why dont you walk, walk, walk in my shoes (Walk in my shoes)
Experience what it's like to be in my situation.

And I pray that youll remember when
I hope that my pain will stay with you, and you will understand.

And if the shoe fits
If my situation resonates with you, understand my pain.

Wont you say you want my love again
Consider giving our love another chance.

(Walk in my shoes) Keep on walking, walk on
Keep on experiencing what I have been going through.
