I only stopped buy for some milk and bread

You smiled at me with all your apples red

They looked so fresh and bright and super great

Displays pulling at me

Yes, pulling at me

You knew exactly where I'd want to go

You hid the things in back I needed most

Milk and bread for my morning toast

Displays pulling at me

Yes, pulling at me

Done! with putting more things in my basket

Done! With all the things that I do not need

Done believing in every display sign that's calling me

I came here just for the basics

But you took my money once again

Thought I could resist it

But tonight I finally learned your wicked game

I've got to leave here, baby

Before I spend another dime

Leave these things behind me

Grab my milk and bread and rush right out the door

You put so many bargains in my way

Seasonal displays that would make me pay

Impulse items at the check out line

Candies pulling at me

Yes, pulling at me

Pricey items placed to catch my eye

Expensive things that are right in sight

It seems convenient but it's costing me

Discounts pulling at me

Yes, pulling at me

Done! with putting more things in my basket

Done! With all the things that I do not need

Done believing in every display sign that's calling me

I came here just for the basics

But you took my money once again

Thought I could resist it

But tonight I finally learned your wicked game

I've got to leave here, baby

Before I spend another dime

Leave these things behind me

Grab my milk and bread and escape right out the door

I left the items behind

I left them all behind

I came here just for the basics

But you took my money once again

Thought I could resist it

But tonight I finally learned your wicked game

I've got to leave here, baby

Before I spend another dime

Leave these things behind me

Grab my milk and bread and escape right out the door
