I would tell you about the things they put me through
  The pain I've been subjected to
  But the Lord himself would blush
  The countless feasts laid at my feet
  Forbidden fruits for me to eat
  But I think your pulse would start to rush
    Now I'm not looking for absolution
  Forgiveness for the things I do
  But before you come to any conclusions
  Try walking in my shoes
  Try walking in my shoes
    Chorus:
    You'll stumble in my footsteps
  Keep the same appointments I kept
  If you try walking in my shoes
  If you try walking in my shoes
    Morality would frown upon
  Decency look down upon
  The scapegoat fate's made of me
  But I promise now, my judge and jurors
  My intentions couldn't have been purer
  My case is easy to see
    I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
  Peace of mind after what I've been through
  And before we talk of any repentance
  Try walking in my shoes
  Try walking in my shoes
    Repeat chorus
    Try walking in my shoes
    Now I'm not looking for absolution
  Forgiveness for the things I do
  But before you come to any conclusions
  Try walking in my shoes
  Try walking in my shoes
    You'll stumble in my footsteps
  Keep the same appointments I kept
  If you try walking in my shoes
  You'll stumble in my footsteps
  Keep the same appointments I kept
  If you try walking in my shoes
  Try walking in my shoes
  If you try walking in my shoes
  Try walking in my shoes
