Subject: Lyr Add: BETTER GET YOUR SHOES ON (Chas & Dave)
I think we ought to have a copy of the lyrics without the intra-line chords. This will be easier to find with a search. Also, I have carefully checked these lyrics by listening to the actual recording on Spotify:


BETTER GET YOUR SHOES ON
As recorded by Chas & Dave on "One Fing N Anuvver" (1995)

VERSE: Go now; you're gettin' me down.
I know you've been messin' 'round.
You been makin' more than makin' eyes.
The time has come for us to part.
I can't take no more, sweetheart.
Oh I — can't live a lie (and I ain't gonna try).

CHORUS: So you better get your shoes on.
You better get a move on.
Don't let nobody change your mind.
Yeah, you better get your shoes on.
You better get a move on.
You can take what's yours, but you better leave what's mine.

BRIDGE: When I get home, you're nowhere around.
You're honky-tonkin' all around town.
I try to call you but you're nowhere to be found.
(I try to call you but you're nowhere to be found.)
I can't take no more from you, sweetheart.
You won't tear me apart any more.

[Repeat chorus, verse, and chorus.]

TAG: Oh, get your shoes on, move on, before you send me out of my mind.
