When we're together, I am alone

I dawdle down the street, shuffle my feet, don't wanna go home

There's an antique store, I go inside

All I got on me is only twenty bucks and my pride

That's when I see them

My new tango shoes

They are my treasure, They are so cool

My new tango shoes

They are my ticket, My tools

My new tango shoes

Their gonna help me dance away from you

My new tango shoes

Like Cinderella, I am transformed

Suddenly I'm taller, you're smaller, I am reborn

With new courage, I go downtown

To find you sitting at our table, girls all around

And they see my-

My new tango shoes

They are my treasure, They are so cool

My new tango shoes

They are my ticket, My tools

My new tango shoes

Their gonna help me dance away from you

My new tango shoes

See my sexy metamorphosis

Right before your angry eyes

I stick a red rose in between my lips

Turn on my heel, and dance out of your life!

You told me you love me, That was untrue

Now that we're over, This dance is for you.

Tango!

My new tango shoes

They are my treasure, They are so cool

My new tango shoes

They are my ticket, My tools

My new tango shoes

Their gonna help me dance away from you

My new tango shoes

They are my treasure, They are so cool

My new tango shoes

They are my ticket, My tools

My new tango shoes

Their gonna help me dance away from you

My new tango shoes
