Mary Jane Shoes
Fergie · The Dutchess [2006]
I can escape from the blues
The whole world seems a little bit brighter, brighter
My heavy steps get a little bit lighter, lighter
Whoa my Mary Janes
Whoa my Mary Janes
Whoa my Mary Janes
Whoa my Mary Janes
When I wear my Mary Jane Shoes
I'm just like a child - under bruise
From heart to my soles I feel like I'm seven
From my head to my toes it's like I'm in heaven, heaven
Oh my Mary Janes (yeah)
Oh my Mary Janes
Whoa now, Oh now
Oh my Mary Janes (yeah)
Whoa my Mary Janes
Whoa now, Oh now
When I wear my Mary Jane Shoes
I enjoy to spin the ones and twos
Music has another dimension (yeah)
And I can dance with a different perception
Whoa oh oh oh
Oh my Mary Janes (yeah)
Oh my Mary Janes
Whoa now, Oh now
Oh my Mary Janes (yeah)
Whoa my Mary Janes
Whoa now, Oh now
When I step into my shoes, make a lady wanna (Hey!)
Feeling high, feeling low caught up in a purple (Hey!)
Everything is beautiful mother fuckin' feeling great
When I step in to my shoes, make a lady wanna go crazy
Wanna go crazy (Crazy, mother fucker)
Wanna go crazy, wanna go crazy, oh now
Wooh my mary janes
Wooh my mary janes
Wooh my mary janes
Wooh my mary janes
Wooh my mary janes
