Labels or Love?

“Labels or Love” - Fergie

Shopping for love
Manolo and Louis, it’s all I’m thinking of
Shopping for labels, shopping for love
Manolo and Louis, it’s all I’m thinking of

I already know what my addiction is
I be looking for labels, I ain’t looking for love
I shop for purses while I walk out the door
Don’t cry, buy a bag and then get over it
And, I’m not concerned with all the politics
It’s a lot of men I know I could find another one.

What I know is that I’m always happy when I walk out the store, store
I’m guessing Supercalifragi-sexy, nothing to be playing with
I love him, hate him, kiss him, diss him, tryna to walk a mile in my kicks

(Chorus)
Love’s like a runway but which one do I love more
No emotional baggage, just big bags filled with Dior
Love’s like a runway, so what’s all the fussing for
Let’s stop chasing them boys and shop some more

I know I might come off as negative
I be looking for labels, I ain’t looking for love
Relationships are often so hard to tame
A Prada dress has never broken my heart before
And, ballin’s something that I’m fed up with
I’mma do the damn thing, watch me do the damn thing

Cause I know that my credit card will help me put out the flames
I’m guessing Supercalifragi-sexy, nothing to be playing with
I love him, hate him, kiss him, diss him, tryna to walk a mile in my kicks

[Chorus]

Gucci, Fendi, Prada purses, purchasing them finer things
Men they come a dime a dozen, just give me them diamond rings
I’m into a lot of bling, Cadallic, Chanel and Coach
Fellas boast but they can’t really handle my female approach
Buying things is hard to say
Rocking Christian Audigier, Manolo, Polo, taking photos in my Cartier
So we can’t go all the way, I know you might hate it but
I’m a shop for labels while them ladies lay and wait for love

[Chorus]

I love this song form Sex and the City; it is played on the credits part of the movie. It’s about a high-end lady who loves signature clothes and accessories more than having a man in her life... or some sort like that.

Gucci, Fendi, Prada, Dior…even Christain Audigier! Having Dior in her life is way easily managed than having a relationship. When her heart has been wrecked, a signature bag will help her get over it. It might be appalling if you will read the lyrics, but these women exist. Very few of them is already glamorous and have a tremendously glamorous life; some of them just gave-up on love and turned to labelled clothing to release frustration and loneliness; some are collectors; but most of them can’t really afford but like glamour and will do anything to get it, this is where the sugar daddies and a whole lot more of wealthy suitors will enter in the scene.

I myself love glamour and signature line of clothes, but I see to it that it came from me. What’s with these clothes by the way? I even asked myself these same questions. Are they just really clothes, same as every other cheaper ones? My say: NO. They are clothes, but not just any other ordinary ones. For people like me, these line of clothes and accessories are different. Differ where? High-quality, sophisticated sense of style, good coordination of colours, fine clothing materials, and at the top of it all, they are Signature.
