Lyrics

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
Cuz 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 a different voice
As 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 a different voice
As 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
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
As 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
