Verse 1 – controlled, confident)
You won’t get a standing ovation
Rarely even a nod
Half the room won’t notice
How far you’ve come
But those heels
⸻
(Pre-Chorus – tension)
They know every mile
Every tear you hid
Every time you almost quit
⸻
(Chorus – HOOK, bold, repeatable)
Those heels
they CLAP as you walk away
CLAP when you don’t stay
CLAP when you choose you
Those heels
they walk you through fire
Through judgment, through wires
Through everything you outgrew
⸻
(Verse 2 – cool, grounded power)
Rain or snow
Hot or cold
They carry every version
Of the story you’ve told
No permission
No applause
You’ve been walking your way
Through it all
But those heels
⸻
(Pre-Chorus – lift again)
They know every mile
Every line you crossed
Every win they called a loss
⸻
(Chorus – bigger, layered)
Those heels
they CLAP as you walk away
CLAP when you don’t stay
CLAP when you choose you
Those heels
they walk you through fire
Through everything said
Still take you higher
⸻
(Bridge – stripped, then rise)
No spotlight
No stage
No one calling your name
(beat… softer)
Still you walk
Just the same
⸻
(Final Chorus – full Gaga moment)
Those heels
they CLAP as you walk away
CLAP like you’ve already won
CLAP like you don’t need them
Those heels—
they walk you through fire
Through judgment and fear
Still take you higher
⸻
(Outro – calm, iconic)
You don’t need applause…
(beat)
You’ve got those heels
