First at the gate post but the last one through
I hung around far too long for you
Left out the game left out the deal
Stupid of me to be draggin’ my heels
Oh oh oh draggin’ my heels
Oh oh oh draggin’ my heels, heels

Time waits for no one and I wasted my time
Got to the crossroads but took the wrong sign
I’d go too far didn’t know how she’d feel
Stupid of me to be draggin my heels
Oh oh oh draggin’ my heels
Oh oh oh draggin’ my heels, heels

If I had the chance to go back again,
I wouldn’t do the same
I learned by mistakes
I’d be on my knees I’d be there to please
I’d be anything you want me to be
You want to be

Heels, heels
