Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C#dim][G][C][G][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
It's [G]a time to buy,
a time for shopping
[C]Going to the store [F]and make a choice
But [Em]everything she sees,
[G]it's like they're talking
Talking at her with a [Csus2]different [C]voice
[Csus2][G][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 2]
[Gsus4]
[G]Laura's head is buzzing
Can't remember what she
came here [Gsus4]for
[G]Couldn't keep her promise
Not to gaze at things she can't afford
Cause there's shoes, bags and silk scarves
[C]And dre[G]ams of summer days
And now she's [Am]wording
a letter to her bosses
For a raise
[G][Gsus4]

[Verse 3]
[G]But then she passes the baby section
With the tinest shoes [C]on [G]shiny [Gsus4]trays

[Verse 4]
It's a [G]time to buy, a time for shopping
[C]Go ing to the store [F]and make a choice
But [Em]everything she sees,
it's [G]like they're talking
Talking at her with their [Csus2]different voices
A [G]singer's voice,
and her mother's pleas
And the [C]voice of countless [F]charities
But the [Em]one she heeds
with cer[G]tainty says
Have it [Em]all, have it [G]all,
[Em]have it all[G][Em]
[G]

[Verse 5]
Margaret's by the mannequins
Gazing at their suits and
shoulders still no man
And it's another year of
winter holidays
[Gsus4]But soon [G]she'll have him,[Am]
and buy him
They'll sit like this and they'll go
skiing [G]every [Gsus4]year
[G]He's around the corner,
the man who'll love her

[Verse 6]
And understand her and her career
[G]
It's a time to buy, a time for shopping
[C]Go ing to the store [F]and make a choice
But [Em]everything she sees,
[G]it's like they're talking
Talking at her with their [C]different voices
A [G]singer's voice,
and her mother's pleas
And the [C]voice of countless [F]charities
But the [Em]one she heeds
with cer[D]tainty [F]says
[Em]Have it [G]all, [Em]have it all, [G]have[Em] it all[G][Em]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
[G]It's a time to buy, a [Em]time for shop[G]ping
[C]Going to the store and make
[F]a choice
[Em]But everything she sees,
[G]it's like they're talking
[D]Talking at [G]her with their dif[C]ferent voices
[G]A singer's voice, and her
mother's pleas
And the [C]voice of countless [F]charities
But the [Em]one she heeds
with cer[D]tainty [G]says
[Em]Have it [G]all, [Em]have it all,[G]
[Em]have it all[G][Em]

[Outro 1]
[G][C]
