G#m
Baby thought she really needed that sofa
                                    Eb
Baby thought she really wanted that dress
                                     Eb
Baby thought she really had to have two cars
                                    G#m
Baby thought she really had to say yes

But the more she possessed the more she'd slide into debt
        C#m          Eb                          G#m
And the more she possessed the less she owned of herself

Baby thought she really needed that hairstyle

Baby thought she really had to say yes
                               Eb
Baby really needed acres of carpets
                                          G#m
Thought she'd be happy if she had larger breasts
 
 
 
Verse: (2:04)

Everbody said you can't live without them
                               Eb
Everbody said you have to say yes
                                     Eb
So baby Spent her everything on this lifestyle
                                 G#m
But it's lifestyle that doesn't exist
 
 
 
Chorus: (2:26)

        C#m          Eb                            G#m
And the more she possessed the less she owned of herself

And the more we possess the less we own of ourselves
