lyrics

(a little shop bell rings)
Buenas... it's me again.

I snapped my heel again today
Third Tuesday in a row
He doesn't charge me anyway
Just smiles: "senora... no"
(ay, no, ay, no)

He holds my shoe like it's a bird
(despacito)
And I forget every word

Zapatero, zapatero
Sew it slow, zapatero
Zapatero, zapatero
While you work, I won't go
(que lindo, que lindo)

My ex said I walked too loud
Too fast, too much, too proud
This man says, "look how far they've walked"
New soles, no charge — and so we talked
(cuentame, cuentame)

On my receipt, in pencil gray:
"These shoes should dance. Come Friday?"
(ay, Dios)
Forty-seven, blushing red
"Yes" was all I said
(like a girl, like a girl)

Zapatero, zapatero
Hurry Friday, zapatero
Zapatero, zapatero
Save the last dance, don't let go
(baila, baila)

(the little bell rings)
I wore the ones he fixed.
(que lindo...)
