What is this place? It's called... a department store It's... it's beautiful Shhh First, a deep breath Take it all in Feel all those halogens warming your skin Smell how they pump in pure oxygen See, they care 'Love'? Excuse me? 'Love'. It's the new fragrance from Chanel Oh, no, thank you I know you're scared Nevertheless, think of the people you want to impress Swallow your pride for me Just nod "yes" And prepare 'cause something's in the air I think it's 'Love' Exactly! Here you'll become what you're supposed to be You think you can't, but you can Think of the guy you want most to be Here's your chance to make it So take it like a man What does she want? Not really sure Why can't we leave things the way that they were? Why can I never say "no" to her? What's that smell? 'Subtext' by Calvin Klein That I don't like That's kinda neat Guys who wear that get beat up on my street Still, I've come this far I can't retreat in my shell I'm in the hands of Elle What the hell! Here you'll become what you're supposed to be Supposed to be You think you can't, but you can Yes, you can Think of the guy you want most to be Here's your chance to make it So take it like a man Take it like a man God, I love shopping for guys Okay, this is strange Watching them change right before your eyes Don't watch me change! Look at him striking a pose His confidence grows He'll bloom like a rose It's just clothes! God, I love shopping for men Okay, this is nice They walk in a two, they walk out a ten Is this the price?! Don't worry, this is my treat There's someone I'd like you to meet Whoa I look like Warner Yeah But it's just me That's the best part The outside is new But now it reflects what's already in you Couldn't change that if I wanted to And I do not Thank you No, thank you This is no gift It's payment in kind 'Cause you saw beyond all the blonde to my mind Oh, you have to buy it What, are you blind? You look hot! Is he not hot? He's hot, hot, hot, hot Here you'll become what you're supposed to be You think you can't, but you can Think of the guy you want most to be Not quite the guy I'd have chose to be But when she's standing so close to me I think I like her plan Here's your chance to make it A chance to make it So take it like So take it like A man! A man! A man? Amen! A man! A man! A man... Amen! A man! A man! A man! Amen! A man!
