Fountains Of Wayne - Bowling Shoes Lyrics

Bowling Shoes
FoW

Hey now baby don’t be shy
I saw you with another guy
He was short but his hair was long
He had your sunglasses on

Ba bada ba ba baah
Ba bada ba ba baah

Picked you up in a German car
He took you out to an Irish bar
You drank bar from a plastic cup
Till you were barely standin’ up

Ba bada ba ba baah
Ba bada ba ba baah

And now you’ve got some explaining to do
So come on baby won’t you tell me the news
I don’t know who you think you’re trying to fool
But I know where you’ve been going so don’t bother with the bowling shoes

Tuesday night you were out again
With a bunch of your stoner high school friends
Called me up said you might be late
And you ended up in another state

Ba bada ba ba baah
Ba bada ba ba baah

And now you’ve got some explaining to do
So come on baby won’t you tell me the news
I don’t know who you think you’re trying to fool
But I know where you’ve been going so don’t bother with the bowling shoes

BRIDGE

I want a love that will last forever
But it seems like you and me just can’t quite get it together
I want a lover I can take for granted
But you give me the blues each time I catch you red-handed

BREAK

Hey now baby don’t you lie
I saw you with another guy
He looked dumb but it sure did smart
When you held his hand and you broke my heart

Ba bada ba ba baah

And now you’ve got some explaining to do
So come on baby won’t you tell me the news
I don’t know who you think you’re trying to fool
But I
Know where you’ve been going so don’t bother with the bowling
Know where you’ve been going so don’t bother with the bowling
Know where you’ve been going so don’t bother with the bowling shoes

END
