As Is Songtext

von Amy Rigby

Some folks shop off the regular rack
Buy it, don't like it, they can take it back
We got to head for the rear of the store
Because we can't afford perfect anymore

As is, must go
Nobody has to know
As is, for less
Paying full price would be happiness

Some people dress in the latest of styles
Strut up and down the department store aisles
We make do with the dregs and the dross
Cost so cheap that the shop takes a loss

As is, must go
Nobody has to know
As is, for less
Paying full price would be happiness

How do we get so poor
Is this what we're working for
Dreaming of merchandise
That hasn't been marked down... twice
As is

The lady is rich but she's lacking in taste
All that Versace is really a waste
I'd wear the heck out of something so chic
Have to eat mac and cheese for three months and a week

As is, must go
Nobody has to know
As is, for less
Paying full price would be happiness
