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 song "These Boots Are Made For Walking" by Velvet 99 is an upbeat and catchy tune that was originally recorded by Nancy Sinatra in 1966. The lyrics of the song tell the story of a woman who has had enough of her man's lies and unfaithful behavior. She warns him that she's not going to put up with his antics anymore, and that one of these days, her boots are going to walk all over him.
The first verse of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The woman is speaking to her man, telling him that he's been playing with her emotions, and it's time for him to face the consequences. She's not going to be a doormat anymore, and her boots are going to do the talking. The second verse continues with the same theme, as the woman tells her man that he's been lying and losing when he shouldn't have been. She's fed up with his excuses and wants him to know that he's in for a rude awakening.
The third verse of the song takes a more playful turn, as the woman tells her man that she's found a new box of matches. This is a metaphor for her newfound confidence and strength, and a warning to her man that he's in for a fiery end if he doesn't straighten up. The chorus of the song repeats the message that the woman's boots are made for walking, and that she's not going to put up with her man's behavior anymore. The song ends with the woman daring her boots to start walking, a powerful and empowering moment.
