We're just a pair of old sneakers Stringin' each other along Sometimes i feel just like a heel 'cause i know in my soul, that it's wrong We're just a pair of old sneakers Kickin' each other around Eight times a week, we play 'hide an' cheat' 'Til we've run that game in the ground We're just a pair of old sneakers We know that cheatin' is wrong We're just a pair of old sneakers And we've been in the closet too long We're just a pair of old sneakers Worn out an' comin' unglued Both wearin' rings, feelin' ashamed Tryin' to run from the truth We're just a pair of old sneakers And nothin' can tear us apart Living the lie and lord knows we've tried To stop walking on each other's heart We're just a pair of old sneakers We know that cheatin' is wrong We're just a pair of old sneakers And we've been in the closet too long We're just a pair of old sneakers And we've been in the closet too long
