David Lee Roth - Sensible Shoes Lyrics
Oh yeah
Yes
I got a fast car, go cruisin' down the highway
A Corvette stingray, I do it my way
I look good and I'm funny, so why am I lonesome honey?
The gypsy said the problem with you
You need some sensible shoes
Yes you do, yes you do
Look at this black book, it's loaded with phone numbers
Potential lovers, new worlds to discover
You would think I really got it made now
New Rayban shades but I'm a heartache on parade now
I walk around with the blues
I need some sensible shoes
Sensible shoes
Ones that will lead me back to you
Sensible shoes
'Cause you're the only lover that was ever true
I need some sensible shoes
All my friends now, they look up to me
They wish they could be a lot more like me
But they don't know and they can't see
How I'm hurtin', how I'm empty
Lost my soul when I walked out on you
I need some sensible shoes
Sensible shoes
Ones that will lead me back to you
Sensible shoes
'Cause you're the only lover that was ever true
I need some sensible shoes
That's right
He knows
Walk this way, mama
I got a fast car, go cruisin' down the highway
A Corvette stingray, I do it my way
Got a good job, I'm makin' lots of money
I look good and I'm funny, so why am I lonesome honey?
The gypsy said the problem with you
Ah, you know
Sensible shoes
Ones that will lead me back to you
Sensible shoes
'Cause you're the only lover that was ever true
Sensible shoes
Ones that will lead me back to you
Sensible shoes
'Cause you're the only lover that was ever true
I need some sensible shoes
All right
Nice, tight fit
Must be my size

David Lee Roth Sensible Shoes Comments
I was EXTREMELY disappointed in this CD when it came out....I bought it, listened to it once then put it away.....
His 3 prior solo CDs were incredible....This was the end of solo Dave...His sporadic live performances after this were terrible as well...Dave didn't even attempt to sing the songs properly....
I really like this record better than Skyscraper, even though Skyscraper has Damn Good (one of Dave's best tunes VH or not). The guitar is much better, and every song has this type of danceable grove that ages better than Skyscraper does today.
Hey!
1,000ths person to like it!
Also, this was the first song we learned in a "Show/R&B/Soul" band I joined in Columbus circa 1991. I can still play some of the guitar parts...
Dave....VEGAS BABY
Roth doing his own Albums shit all over anything VH did after Roth!
One of Roth’s Best Album! indeed! 😉🤟🔥🔥🎸
Sensible Shoes....ahhh you know! Love the guitar and harmonica.
One of my fav Roth songs.
If this is the best we can do quality-wise, what the hell was it shot on, a Pixel 2000? So many old videos I wish we could find the source tapes/film and re-rip 'em to modern video formats.
Awesome!! song I remember jamming to this in the early 90s on my way to school trying to graduate. Sounds like a blues tune. 🎙️🎸🎵🎼
Aw, you know 💋
supercoool
GREAT the hook has been in my brain for years
Dave TV
there's only one diamond
No wonder Roth fell so hard in the 90s....he was busy pumping out forgettable crap like this!
edwoodification You are entitled to your opinion even if it is wrong
Dave fell because Grunge moved in. Forgettable, not really, Dave just didn't give a sh*t about pushing the envelope. And..we're glad he didn't.
This is obviously a comment from someone who never 'got' David Lee Roth, probably never will. Also, a person who would sell his soul just to BE Dave for even one day ;-)
go dave
From "A Little Ain't Enough" 1991. Released in January and went Gold in April. Great Album.
a killer album
Montreal 1983 Van Fuckin Halen , Dave brought it to town. I met a french girl at the airport, she asked me if I spoke french? I said no baby I cant speak french ,,.,.,.,.,./,/88
This is really a sleazy, Chris Isaak-like country song!
excellent song
Good song.... cool guitar parts. Heard it for 1st time tonight.
Great song, that would have been a hit -- had he gotten more post-Van Halen support from the record company. >sigh<
the genious, david lee
Highly underated!
what can be forget...just listen a beat of dust left on a road...
I had forgotten about this song - thanks for the reminder. Have had a HUGE crush on DLR since 1980, still damn fine looking at 61.
"Nice Tight Fit...Must Be My Size"
the best!°!!!!
david is unique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did Dave rip this off from ZZTop???
+tootired76 shut the fuck up.
Example being???
This IS his best album, and let's not forget that Jason Becker played his ASS off on this record, as he was diagnosed with ALS, it deserves to be remembered for that alone!
+Gaz Jones Great record yes !!!!!!!!!!1
TBP Musician's Services Most definitely!!
Jason Becker was diagnosed with ALS... a big loss for we musicians!
but undoubtedly, he let his style in this album!
Amazing Album Here!!
Jason Becker's story is incredibly sad. I certainly admire his perseverance. He's still creating music despite being a prisoner of his own body
Nice tight fit, must be my size....lol Love that part!!! Great song and Album!!!
+Edward Thomas Yeah, but whatever you do, DO NOT say this just as you start having sex with a beautiful lady, they tend to turn a bit psycho. Still not sure why. Surely it's a compliment?
I always loved this song. Brings back some memorable moments.
I'll take every smile I can get. Thanks for posting.
i need some sensible shoes!!
The two people that gave a thumbs down have no taste in music or style....smh
Sterling Boyd One is a directioner and the other one is a belieber, that's gotta be ;-)
A Little Ain't Enough > For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. (On a side note, Eat 'Em And Smile > 5150.)
A pair of slippers, can't get anymore sensible than that Dave
Glynsectoids has spoken!
This is a cool song! Some of his best solo work was on this album in my opinion, it was just released at a bad time! The unfortunate thing with music is timing is everything, to bad it didn't come out at a different time!
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING A BETTER SOUND QUALITY CLIP OF THIS AWESUM TUNE.
Damn man, this is such a great song from a totally underrated album. 1991 sounds so awesome!!
E se for com umas galóchas sensíveis.
This is David's best song.
One of my very faves too with 'Damn Good'...
I saw the fan montage in Dave's podcast and had to come see this whole video again! Great stuff!
great sound!.....that album sounded so tight!.... great bass.... David Lee Roth never sounded so good....
so much better than the shit out there today
The smoother side of Dave
Thanks for sharing this!
I love that video and song
Love Love Love It
!!
Great tune... and so damn TRUE!! Awesome DAVE! ;)
