A Time to Buy lyrics

by

Joni Mitchell


[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But then she passes the baby section
With the tiniest shoes on shiny trays

[Chorus]
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"
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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"
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"
