Lyrics
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Anticipation of empowerment and taking control in a relationship.
You keep sayin' you got somethin' for me
Acknowledgment of receiving something from the partner.
Somethin' you call love but confess
Skepticism about the partner's definition of love, urging them to confess the truth.
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
Accusation of the partner being involved in inappropriate activities.
Now someone else is getting all your best
Observation that someone else is benefiting from the partner's actions.
These boots are made for walkin'
Statement about the purpose of the boots, symbolizing readiness for action.
cnd that's just what they'll do
Reiteration of the boots' purpose and determination.
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Reaffirmation of the expectation that the boots will assert control.
You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
Accusation of dishonesty in the relationship.
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
Observation of continuous losses in situations where one should abstain.
You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'
Critique of resisting necessary changes in behavior.
Now what's right is right but you ain't been right yet
Acknowledgment that certain actions are inherently right, emphasizing the partner's deviation.
Uh uh
Expression of disagreement or disapproval.
These boots are made for walkin'
Reiteration of the boots' purpose and determination.
cnd that's just what they'll do
Restatement of the boots' commitment to a future course of action.
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Reaffirmation of the expectation that the boots will assert control.
You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin'
Admonition against engaging in inappropriate activities.
cnd you keep thinkin' that you'll never get burnt (ha)
Warning about potential consequences and overconfidence.
I just found me a brand new box of matches (yeah)
Discovery of a means to retaliate or confront the partner.
cnd what he knows you ain't had time to learn
Recognition that the partner lacks the experience or knowledge to deal with the consequences.
These boots are made for walkin'
Reiteration of the boots' purpose and determination.
cnd that's just what they'll do
Restatement of the boots' commitment to a future course of action.
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Reaffirmation of the expectation that the boots will assert control.
cre you ready, boots? Start walkin' Start walkin' Start walkin'
Call to action, signaling the beginning of the assertive walk.
Round, round, round, round, round, round
Repetition emphasizing the continuous, determined movement forward.
Round, round, round, round, round, round
-Round, round, round, round, round, round
-Round, round, round, round, round, round
