Shoppin'

(album: Prisoner - 1979)

I'm shopping, gonna buy my blues away
Shopping, I'm walking up to the counter and say
I want this sweater, I sure feel better
Shopping, gonna take my troubles to town
Shopping, you don't need money down
Charge it, wrap it, send it
Shopping

Ever since my mother took me to a big department store
My heartbeat escalated all the way to the second floor
I couldn't hide my passion for the latest fashion craze
My mama told me that's just another phase I'm going through
Whatcha got that's new?

Shopping, gonna buy my blues away
Shopping, I got bad news today
Instead of eating cause my man's cheating
Shopping, I'm gonna take my troubles to town
Shopping, while everyone else is smoking, token', coken'
Well I'll be shopping

Hit it, boys

[Spoken in background]
Excuse me Miss,
See that the dress over there?
How many colors does it come in?
Yes, all right. No, I'd like every one
No, I'm not going to try it
I know it'll fit
Ooh, you know what?
Let's go up... Ohh, they're having a sale
My God, I love sales
No, I don't have a last name
It's just Cher, just plain Cher
Ooh, I like the shoes
Do you think you could... this thing,
It's all pink and wrinkly.. it's...
What a darling little bag

[Back to Singing]
Shopping, I'm gonna buy it
Shopping, I never try it on for size
Shoppin, Will I like it
Shopping, Does the color match my eyes
Folks say I'm daring for what I'm wearing
I'm always scaring the people's staring
So I'm declaring, I'm tired of swearing
I'm just shopping

Shopping, I'm gonna but my blues away
Shopping, I got bad news today
Shopping, I'm gonna take my troubles to town
Shopping, don't need money down
Shopping, gonna buy my blues away
Shopping, walking up to the counter and say
I want that sweater, I sure feel better
Shopping, charge it, wrap it, send it
Shopping, instead of eating cause my man's cheating
I've been shopping
While other people may be smoking, token', coken'
I'll be shopping
