I wanna say hey, but boy I'm too shy to break the ice
I know you know a lot of my friends, I heard this from them
You're not only fine, you're so nice
(They can see that)
Because of you I've got it so bad
(So bad)
(You're the one boy)
But I need help with my approach boy
(Oh, boy)
If only you could step in my shoes
You'd know how I feel, you'd know that I'm good for you
If only you could step in my shoes
Baby you'd see what I mean and let me just make a move
If only you could step in my shoes
Step in my shoes, baby yeah, baby yeah
Step in my shoes, baby yeah, baby yeah
Sometimes I think you're looking over at me
Like I'm what you need, but maybe it's all in my mind
I wish that I could give you a call
(Give you a call)
Confessing it all
And one of these days I just might
(Get your number)
Get your number but for now I'll have to wonder
If only you could step in my shoes
You'd know how I feel, you'd know that I'm good for you
If only you could step in my shoes
Baby you'd see what I mean and let me just make a move
If only you could step in my shoes
Step in my shoes, baby yeah, baby yeah
Step in my shoes, baby yeah, baby yeah
What would it be like if you were walking right by
If I fessed up, said what's up, would I get a reply?
If you knew what I knew I bet that you would smile
You'd see it through my eyes
If only you could step in my shoes
(Step, step in my shoes)
(Baby I'm so into you)
(Step, step in my shoes)
If only you could step in my shoes
You'd know how I feel, you'd know that I'm good for you
If only you could step in my shoes
Baby you'd see what I mean and let me just make a move
If only you could step in my shoes
Step in my shoes, baby yeah, baby yeah
Step in my shoes, baby yeah, baby yeah
Step in my shoes, baby yeah, baby yeah
Step in my shoes, baby yeah, baby yeah
Step in my shoes
