These Boots Are Made for Walking
Boots of Liberation: Love, Lies, and Lessons in David Hasselhoff's Melody
Lyrics
DH: You keep saying you got something for me
You claim to have something for me
MM: Something you call love, but confess
It's called love, but you admit it reluctantly
DH: You've been messing where you shouldn't been messing
You've been involved in things you shouldn't have
MM: And someone else is getting all your best
Someone else is benefiting from your best efforts
DH: These boots are made for walkin'
My boots are designed for walking
MM: That's just what they'll do
And indeed, that's what they will do
DH/MM: One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Someday, these boots will assert dominance over you
DH: You keep lying when you oughta be truthin'
You persist in lying instead of telling the truth
MM: You keep loosing when you oughta not bet
You keep losing in situations where you shouldn't gamble
DH: You keep saming when you oughta be changin'
You continue the same behavior when you should be changing
What's right is right,
Emphasizing the importance of doing what is right
MM: But you ain't been right yet
But you haven't been right so far
DH: These boots are made for walkin'
Reiteration that these boots are meant for walking
MM: And that's just what they'll do
And that's precisely what they will do
DH/MM: One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
In the future, these boots will take control over you
DH: You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
You engage in activities where you shouldn't
MM: You keep thinking that you'll never get burned
You believe you won't face consequences
DH: But I just found me a brand new batch of matches
I've found a new way to retaliate
And what she knows
Referring to someone who knows more
MM: You ain't had time to learn
You haven't had time to learn from your mistakes
MM: These boots are made for walkin'
Their purpose is to walk, as emphasized again
DH: And that's just what they'll do
And that's precisely what they will do
DH/MM: One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
In the future, these boots will dominate over you
DH: Are ya ready boots?
A rhetorical question, asking if the recipient is prepared for the consequences
MM: Hasta la vista, Baby
A playful reference to the famous line from Terminator 2: "Hasta la vista, Baby"
DH: Hey wait, come back here...
An attempt to stop the person from leaving
MM: Bye bye
A casual farewell, indicating a departure
DH: We are not done talking here, hey where you going?
Expressing a desire to continue the conversation
MM: See ya, I'm outta here
A casual goodbye, indicating a final departure
DH: Man!
An expression of frustration
