The Bargain Store lyrics

My life is likened to a bargain store

And I may have just what you're looking for;

If you don't mind the fact

That all the merchandise is used

But, with a little mending,

It could be as good as new.

Why, you take, for instance, this old broken heart;

If you will just replace the missing parts

You would be surprised

To find how good it really is!

Take it and you never

Will be sorry that you did...

[Chorus:]

The bargain store is open, come inside!

You can easily afford the price!

Love is all you need

To purchase all the merchandise

And I can guarantee

You'll be completely satisfied!

Take these old, used memories from the past

And these broken dreams and plans that didn't last.

I'll trade them for a future:

I can't use them anymore!

I've wasted love,

But I still have some more.

[Chorus:]

The bargain store is open, come inside!

You can easily afford the price!

Love is all you need

To purchase all the merchandise

And I can guarantee

You'll be completely satisfied!

My life is likened to a bargain store

And I may have just what you're looking for;

If you don't mind the fact

That all the merchandise is used

But, with a little mending,

It could be as good as new.

The bargain store is open, come inside...

The bargain store is open, come inside...
