Lyrics

alarm barking at you
another week to muddle through
napping on the train again
be awake before the end

she's got the work day blues
she wants to buy new shoes
but she's got bills to pay
so it's just another day

[chorus] retail therapy
it'll do you good
retail therapy
you know you should
retail therapy
you're going uptown
retail therapy
is going down

office talk in the air
but her mind stops and stares
watching the face tic toc
waiting for shop-o'clock

[chorus] retail therapy
it'll do you good
retail therapy
you know you should
retail therapy
you're going uptown
retail therapy
is going down

[bridge] it's a credit card war
going store to store
nobody but her
know just what for

[instrumental]

for a while she doesn't care
for a while she'll smell the air
her escape from all the stress
doesn't worry about all the rest

[chorus] retail therapy
it'll do you good
retail therapy
you know you should
retail therapy
you're going uptown
retail therapy
is going down

for a while she doesn't care
for a while she'll smell the air
her escape from all the stress
doesn't worry about all the rest

[chorus] retail therapy
it'll do you good
retail therapy
you know you should
retail therapy
you're going uptown
retail therapy
is going down
