Labels or Love Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Urm... 

Cover art for Labels or Love lyrics by Fergie

I thought she was saying "shopping for lightbulbs, shopping for love" and was like wtf? WHY IS SHE SINGING ABOUT BUYING LIGHTBULBS! I thought lightbulbs were meant to represent inspiration/ideas. I was way off.

Meaning? Consumerism, materialism, "retail therapy", shallowness, emptiness and a bit of arrogance. Frankly i think i liked it better when i thought it was about lightbulbs :)
