It's a time to buy
A time for shopping
Going to 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 and silk scarves
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 tinest shoes on shiny trays

It's a time to buy
A time for shopping
Going to the store
And make a choice
But everything she sees
It's like they're talking
Talking at her
With their different voices
A singer's voice
And her mother's pleas
And the voice of
Countless charities
But the one she heeds
With certainty says
Have it all, have it all
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
They'll sit 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
Going to the store
And make a choice
But everything she sees
It's like they're talking
Talking at her
With their different voices
A singer's voice
And her mother's pleas
And the voice of
Countless charities
But the one she heeds
With certainty says
Have it all, have it all
Have it all...
