The Red Shoes [Director's Cut]

[Verse 1]

She move like the diva do

I said, "I'd love to dance like you"

She said, "Just take off my red shoes

Put them on and your dream'll come true

[Pre-Chorus]

"With no words, with no song

You can dance the dream with your body on

And this curve, is your smile

And this cross, is your heart

And this line, is your path

Whoop whoop!

[Chorus 1]

"It's gonna be the way you always thought it would be

But it's gonna be no illusion

It's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it

But it's gonna be really happening

[Post-Chorus]

"Really happening to you

Really happening to you"

[Verse 2]

The minute I put them on

I knew I had done something wrong

All her gifts for the dance had gone

The red shoes, they can't stop dancing

They can't stop!

Can't stop!

Can't stop!

They can't stop!

Whoop whoop!

[Chorus 1]

"It's gonna be the way you always thought it would be

But it's gonna be no illusion

It's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it

But it's gonna be really happening"

[Chorus 2]

She gotta dance, she gotta dance

And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off

These shoes do a kind of voodoo

They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off

[Bridge]

Feel your hair come tumbling down

Feel your feet start kissing the ground

Feel your arms are opening out

And see your eyes are lifted to God

I'm gonna dance the dream

And make the dream come true

I'm gonna dance the dream

And make the dream come true

[Chorus 3]

She gotta dance, she gotta dance, yeah

And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off

These shoes do a kind of voodoo

They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off

Call a doctor, call a priest

They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter

[Post-Chorus]

"Really happening to you

Really happening to you"

[Outro]

Are you ready, shoes?

You gotta dance

You gotta dance, yeah

You gotta dance

You gotta dance, mmm

You gotta dance, mmm

You gotta dance
