'If The Shoe Fits, Wear It'
Written by Ray Griff
Published by Blue Echo Music / MCPS

You brush off the truth as if it was a salt on the table
You slip and you slide through a mouth full of beautiful lies
There's no way around the cold fact that you've been unfaithful
You're really not fooling me girl so I'm bothered to try

If the shoe fits wear it
Wipe off that innocent look on your face
If the shoe fits wear it
Our love will never be right till the wrongs ain't erased

You made your own then now lay there and talk to your conscience
Be sure that your mind is in tune to the music you hear
You can't run away from the dance you're not Cinderella
You're really not fooling me on I can see through your tears

If the shoe fits wear it...
If the shoe fits wear it...
