Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best
Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
What's right is right but you ain't been right yet
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt,hah
Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah
And what he knows you ain't have time to learn
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Are you ready, boots?
Start walkin'
The lyrics to Jessica Simpson's song "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" express a woman's frustration with her partner's infidelity and dishonesty. The song begins with the woman calling out her partner's claims of love, which she no longer believes due to his unfaithful behavior. She accuses him of "messin'" with someone he shouldn't have and giving his best to someone else. The woman then asserts her independence and strength by proclaiming that her boots are made for walking, indicating that she is ready to walk away from the relationship if her partner continues to betray her.
The lyrics go on to describe a pattern of behavior in which the partner continues to lie, lose, and play where he shouldn't be playing. The woman is frustrated that he hasn't changed his ways despite her insistence on what is right. She then reveals that she has a new box of matches, suggesting that she is ready to leave the relationship and start anew.
The final verse is a declaration of independence and self-confidence. The woman asks her boots if they are ready to walk, indicating that she is prepared to leave her partner behind and move on without him. The overall message of the song is that a woman should not tolerate mistreatment from her partner, and that she has the power to leave and make a better life for herself.
