LaBelle, Patti - I Don't Go Shopping Lyrics






I don't go shopping for love
You're somethin' money can't buy
I dream in colors and my dreams
Are all in shades of you, so I'm never blue

I don't go wishing on stars
Just wanna be right where you are
Too many times it felt so right
But it was just the night, now I see the light

I don't care nothin' about goin' out
Now that I've found out what it's all about
Hear me shout, I've saved it all up for you
So if you feel like I do, well, we're long overdue

I'm never out after dark
You'll always find me right here at home
If you're allowed to stay up late
Then please don't hesitate 'cause I can only wait

I don't care nothin' about goin' out, no, no
Now that I've found out what it's all about
Hear me shout, I've saved it all up for you
So if you feel like I do, well we're long overdue, oh

I don't care nothin', nothin' about goin' out, baby
Now that I've found out what it's all about
Hear me shout, I've saved it all up for you, babe
So if you feel like I do, oh, well we're long overdue, oh

I don't care nothin', nothin' about lovin' around, baby
I've been there and I found out what it's all about
Hear me shout, I saved it all up for you
So if you feel, feel like I do, well we're both long overdue

And I can't, I just can't, I can't go shopping for love
How about you? How about you?
I know exactly what it's all about
And I'm happy, happy our love for two baby

  1. J.... A....

    Doing her Aretha imitation, Patti Labelle! Don't Go Shopping kinda reminds you of Aretha vocals.

    GREAT song by a CLASSY LADY!

    I don’t go shopping for love
    You’re something money can’t buy
    I dream in colors and my dreams are all in shades of you
    So I’m never blue
    I don’t go wishing on stars
    I just want to be where you are
    Too many times it felt so right, but it was just the night
    Now I see the light
    I don’t care nothing about going out
    Now that I’ve found out what it’s all about
    Hear me shout
    I’ve saved it all up for you
    And if you feel like I do
    Well, we’re long overdue
    I’m never out after dark
    You’ll always find me here at home
    And if you decide to stay up late
    Hey baby, don’t you hesitate
    Oh I can hardly wait...
    I said we’re...long overdue
    What about me...what about you?
    Long overdue

    I don’t go shopping anymore...

    This song was recorded in New Orleans La on my Birthday December 8th 1980. Its 4/23/19 on Bass David Barard.

    D.... B....

    Hi David....New Orleanian here too! I remember this album when it was “released”! Heard this song and promptly bought the LP. Still have it — original pressing! In Dec 1980, I had been living in N.O for only two months and I never left — I’m still here...04/24/2019.

    Love this song. "I Don't Go Shopping" written by Peter Allen and David Lasley and was recorded and released by singer Patti LaBelle in 1980. One of the songs that started her solo career! Go Miss Patti!

    My eldest sister LOVED this song with a passion. She's the one that got me into Patti. Sadly she died fifteen years come May, but I came here due to Isn't It a Shame and got in the Patti juice. Decided to come here and remember her. Haven't played this song in YEARS.

    THIS is the song that made me a Patti LaBelle maniac!!!!  One of the greatest thrills of my life was when, during one of her concerts, Miss LaBelle called me on stage to sing and dance with her!!! Thanks Patti for the music and the memories!!!!!!!!

  37. W.... H....

    ditto ditto ditto. Says it all.

  38. d.... s....

    Ohy my, I love this song. first time I heard Patti sing it though.

  39. H.... M....

    Thanks for your feedback. I listened to Patti's song Live and Learned & found I had not heard that line quite the same beforehand as I do now. Thanks for pointing it out to me. I had not realized how much of the bitter I have taken with the Sweet... There are many songs I recommend on that 2006 Beautiful Ballads cd: If Only You Knew, Love, Need and Want You, On My Own, Come What May, Find The Love, Quiet Time, Do I Stand A Chance, You Are My Friend, Love Has Finally Come, & Over The Rainbow.

  40. C.... C....

    well said baby , To thine own self be true. I can see you are true to you. I can see by that statement you've figured it out. Listen to Patti's song Live and Learn. You take the bitter with the Sweet and the best thing you can do is taste it

  41. C.... C....

    Classically beautiful

  42. N.... S....

    Sing Diva....

  43. M.... B....

    @EAST6thWEST Those back-up singers were all David Lasley who co-wrote this great ballad with Peter Allen. I agree with you that those harmonies are great!

    M.... B....

    I love this joint cause Patti sung it and all her songs are great. The back up singer are tight! Love it!

  44. 5.... ....

    One of my favorites...Ms. Patti!

  45. c.... ....

    REPLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  46. R.... J....

    One of my Fav's...
    Back in the early 80's the days of my Drag act... GiGi Price at Friends lounge in Jacksonville N.C.
    I really worked it...lol
    Patti's male background singers were on point...

    GiGi

  47. H.... M....

    This song is one of many of Patti's classic soul ballads in a 2006 cd called Beautiful Ballads by Patti LaBelle. Basically this song and "Isn't It A Shame" are two of my favorite songs from that cd. It doesn't matter how much one sacrifices for another's love, if the other person doesn't feel the same way, then you wind up in a game of Give and Take! When you are a giver, the takers are always looking to take whatever you have to give and move on.

  48. m.... c....

    this is my mother's SONG!!

  49. j.... ....

    I used call this song long overdue, no wander I could never find it. This came out like 79,80. Shoot, and i was ten then and loving it. I never here this on the radio. Thanks for postiing the original. This is the best of Patti starting by herself.

    j.... ....

    I thought it was called Long Over Due too.

  50. a.... ....

    @audrisrozelle (same here) just can't get enough of this song!!!!!

  51. A.... B....

    I can never get enough of this song

  52. C.... A....

    This is definitely an oldie but goodie!!!!!!

  53. b.... s....

    I JUST DISCOVERED THIS GEM......THANKS FOR POSTING.

  54. a.... ....

    I love this....
