Shoppin'
Shoppin'

I'm shoppin'
gonna buy my blues away

Shoppin'
Walkin! up to a counter and say
I want this sweater
I sure feel better

Shoppin'
I'm gonna take my troubles to town

Shoppin'
You don't need money down
Charge it
Wrap it
Send it

Shoppin'

Ever since my mother took me to a big department store
My heartbeat escalated on the way to the second floor
I couldn't hide my passion for the latest fashion craze
My momma told me it's just another phaze I'm going through.
But what cha got that's new?

I'm shoppin'
Gonna buy my blues away

Shoppin'
I got bad news today
Instead of eatin'
Cause my man's cheatin'

I'm shoppin'
I'm gonna take my troubles to town

Shoppin'
While everyone else around is
Smokin'
Tokin'
Cokin'
I'll be shoppin'
"Hit it, boys!"

Instrumental break

(Shoppin')
Wanna buy it?

(Shoppin')
I never try it on for size

(Shoppin')
Will I like it?

(Shoppin')
Does the color match my eyes?

Folks say I'm darin'
For what I'm wearin'
I'm always scarin'
The people starin'
So I'm declarin'
I'm tired of swearin'
I'm Just Shoppin'!!

Shoppin'
Gonna buy my blues away

Shoppin'
Walkin' up to a counter and say
I want this sweater
I sure feel better

Shoppin'
I'm gonna take my troubles to town

Shoppin'
You don't need money down
Charge it
Wrap it
Send it

Shoppin'
Gonna buy my blues away

Shoppin'
I got bad news today
Instead of eatin'
Cause my man's cheatin'

I'm shoppin'
I'm gonna take my troubles to town

Shoppin'
While everyone else around is
Smokin'
Tokin'
Cokin'
I'll be shoppin'!!
