It’s a time to buy
A time for shopping
Go into the store and make a choice
But everything she sees it’s like they’re talking
Talking at her with a different voice
Laura’s head is buzzing can’t remember what she came here for
Couldn’t keep her promise not to gaze at things she can’t afford
'Cause there’s shoes, bags, silk scarfs and dreams of summer days
And now she’s wording a letter to her bosses for a raise
But then she passes the baby section with the tiniest shoes on shiny trays
It’s a time to buy
A time for shopping
Go into the store and make a choice
But everything she sees it’s like they’re talking
Talking at her with a different voice
There’s the singer’s voice
And her mother’s pleas
And the voice of countless charities
But the one she hears with certainty says
Have it all
Margaret’s by the mannequins
Gazing at their suits and shoulders
Still no man and it’s another year of winter holidays
But soon she’ll have him and buy him a suit like this
And they’ll go skiing every year
He’s around the corner
The man who’ll love her and understand her and her career
It’s a time to buy
A time for shopping
Go into the store and make a choice
But everything she sees it’s like they’re talking
Talking at her with a different voice
There’s the singer’s voice
And her mother’s pleas
And the voice of countless charities
But the one she hears with certainty says
Have it all.
