These Boots Are Made For Walkin'
Boots of Liberation: Unveiling the Powerful Message Within Amanda Lear's Song
Lyrics
You keep saying you got something for me
You repeatedly claim to have something for me.
Something you call love but confess
You label it as love, but now admit or acknowledge it.
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
You've been involved in situations where you shouldn't have been.
And now someone else is getting all your best
As a consequence, someone else is now receiving your best.
Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
My boots are intended for walking, and they will fulfill that purpose.
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Eventually, these boots will assert themselves and dominate you.
You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
You persist in dishonesty when honesty is required.
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
You consistently make poor choices when you should abstain.
You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'
You continue with the same behavior when you should be changing.
What's right is right but you ain't been right yet
While what is right is clear, you have not adhered to it.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
These boots are designed for walking, and they will carry out that function.
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Someday, these boots will triumph over you.
You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
You persist in engaging where it's inappropriate.
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt,hah
Despite your belief, you'll eventually face consequences.
Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah
I have found a new means of retaliation or defense.
And what he knows you ain't have time to learn
And the person I'm with already possesses knowledge that you lack.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
These boots will persist in walking, fulfilling their purpose.
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
At some point, these boots will assert dominance over you.
Are you ready, boots?
A rhetorical question asking if you are prepared for the consequences.
Start walkin'
The command to start walking, indicating the imminent consequence.
