I'm not known for bickering
Hardly ever gripe and complain
But sometimes I get my dander up
So I guess I'd better explain
Like a lot of women in this world
I'm hog-wild crazy 'bout shoes
High heels, low heels and wedgies
In greens and reds and blues
The thing that bothers me the most
Seems to be a woman's curse
When I find a gorgeous pair of shoes
And cannot find a matching purse
If I'm lucky enough to find a pair
That will fit my size ten feet
I toss them in my shopping cart
And to the purse department retreat
Most times when I find a match
I usually end up in a blue funk
'Cause if I find the same color purse
It's too small to hold all my junk
So I buy the shoes and hope I find
A matching pocketbook some day
I'm stuck with shoes that have no purse
And eventually just give them away
I think I'll write my congresswoman
About a law that would cure my blues
Demand that the manufacturers make
A matching purse for each pair of shoes
