Lyrics

RUNNING IN HEELS
WORDS AND MUSIC BY REGINA SMOLER

All my life I?ve been running in heels
Who else is out there, spinning their wheels?
Maybe a drag queen
Or Jennifer Biels knows how I feel
Running in Heels

My achillies is stretched to the limit
Every single mother minute
Livin? life on the edge, in a platform or wedge.
And while I?m crazed work, there?s a three-kid circus home at play
I do a teeter-totter routine day after day

Chorus

Now I love my kids, I?m their chauffer
I ain?t turning out no loafer
I?m there by their side, with every step and stride
Now I am all they?ve got so I do not have a lot of leeway
I do a step kick dance routine day after day

Chorus

Money?s at the root of all evil
I had to make it taking on many roles
With my arch sitting high on the strength of my soles
And if my ankles swell I say ?what the hell?
And keep movin? on, oh how I tarry on
No marathon man could pass me by
I keep runnin? to stay alive
In high-heeled sneakers I?m stayin? alive

Like Ginger, I did everything Fred could do
Better and backwards, no matter how high the shoe
Like Dorothy, I journeyed in red ruby pumps
And never had time to feel down in the dumps
Like Cinderella I broke my you know what
But no princely reward just slippers of glass
It?s been bittersweet
But kids have to eat
So I moved to the beat
With my tired feet

Chorus
