The shopaholic

It’s about the thrill of the game
But (1) offer / bargain hunting needs some brains
You see, I’m broke, short of (2) cash / change
But I wanna go shopping, I’ll just be a flash
I run like crazy, pushing and shoving
I’m out of control, a bargain to find
But when I find that (3) cheap / great price
For me it’s like cheese to mice
I was born to shop and I just can’t stop
I’m a shopaholic, shopaholic…
Shopping is my middle name, it’s running through my veins
I’m a shopaholic, shopaholic…
I shop whenever and wherever I can
Spending money’s a game, and I’m its biggest fan
Shopping for clothes is the best
Trying different things on, I love to test
Looking for CDs is good too
Flicking through (4) books / discs, how many I’ll buy,
depends on my mood
I even love the supermarket
Running up and down the (5) streets / aisles searching for
and buying food
(CHORUS)
My shopping problem had taken over me whole
My friends kept telling me I was out of control
I love to shop and I’m a shopaholic
But they told me I need to stop, and use my (6) logic / brains
I told them it makes me feel so good
And that I’m just misunderstood
And I’ll never stop shopping and spending
Because it’s like the air I breathe - on it I’m depending
(CHORUS)
