Story Behind The Song

Well, what can I say? I'm just the songcatcher - I write what appears to me. You know what's funny? The person who inspired this song would never ever read this or if she did, would never see herself as the inspiration.

Song Description

Some of us don't see ourself for who we really are

Lyrics

Shopping Sunset Boulevard

V1: There's always two sides to a story
One takes the blame - one gets the glory
Which one are you? Oh, let me guess
You play with the truth to look your best
When push comes down to shove
How do you show your love?
When the going gets tough, when life gets hard
You're out shopping on Sunset Boulevard

V2: When you heard his heart was going
You caught a plane to California
You weren't there to hold his hand
Oh no, you had other plans
When push comes down to shove
How do you show your love?
Maxing out his credit card
Shopping on Sunset Boulevard

Bridge: That's not the way you see it
'Cause you live in an altered state
Where you're the queen of all you've seen to date
But those of us who've seen you in action all agree
You're all about the "me" and none about the "we"

V3: It's a pattern you've been living
All taking and no giving
According to you it's not like that
You're the only one stepping up to bat
When push comes down to shove
How do you show your love?
You can't see yourself for who you are
Too busy shopping on Sunset Boulevard

Tag: Shopping on Sunset, shopping all day
You'd be shopping all night if you had your way
Shopping on Sunset, life is so hard
Better raise that limit on his credit card
Shopping all night - shopping all day
Shopping all night - shopping all day
Shopping, shopping, shopping on Sunset Boulevard
