Wendy Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Silver Heels Fleetwood Mac (written by Bob Welch, on Heroes are Hard to Find) She came in like a hurricaneWearing boots and diamond ringsWith a fox fur on her shoulderShe set wondering And I could tell she was feeling abandonedBecause she flashed a look across my wayShe said hop for a rideYou'll never ask me but I'll tell you anyway She took me out on the blackboard junglePut me straight in a hurricaneShe hypnotized my eyes with her silver heeled waysIf I could sing like Paul McCartney, or get funky like Etta JamesI'd never change, I'd never change, I'd never change silver heeled ways Quote Link to post Share on other sites
