"He's Gotta Live Up To His Shoes" lyrics

Johnny used to spend a lot of time by himself
He was introverted and painfully shy
Now he's got the power when he walks down the street
And you can see that he's a whole 'nother guy
Johnny spent the summer out in Los Angeles
And now he's back with something special to show
Shufflin' down the sidewalks with the greatest of ease
He's the guy that all the girls wanna know

Hey, so let him walk
And let him walk real proud
And let him talk
And let him talk real loud
And let him do anything he chooses to
He's gotta live up to his shoes

I don't know how much you went and spent for him, no
But I'm sure he thinks I'm worth every cent
Since I done made him Mr. Talk of the Town
Now Mr. Used to Be Hasn't, yeah, got up and went

So let him walk
And let him walk real proud
And let him talk
And let him talk real loud
And let him do anything he chooses to
He's gotta live up to his shoes

Oh, and they look so good
In the street light's shine
Mmm, don't they look real good?
Now don't they look real fine?
Yeah, oh

Oh, oh, let him walk
Let him walk real proud
And let him talk
Let him talk real loud
And let him do anything he chooses to
He's gotta live up to his shoes

Johnny's gone and caused a lot of local alarm
Call him killer now and king of the street
So he's got some loving little girl in his arms
He's the guy that's got the world at his feet

So let him walk
And let him walk real proud
And let him talk
And let him talk real loud
And let him do anything he chooses to
He's gotta live up to his shoes

Yes he does now
Gotta live up to his shoes
Oh, he's got to, gotta live up to his shoes
Walk on
