The Bargain Store Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My life is like unto 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
[Verse 2]
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 (The bargain store is open, come inside)
You can easily afford the price (The bargain store is open, come inside)
Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise
And I can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied (The bargain store is open, come inside)
[Verse 3]
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 like unto 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
[Verse 2]
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 (The bargain store is open, come inside)
You can easily afford the price (The bargain store is open, come inside)
Love is all you need to purchase all the merchandise
And I can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied (The bargain store is open, come inside)
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 1]
My life is like unto 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
[Outro]
The bargain store is open, come inside (The bargain store is open, come inside)
The bargain store is open, come inside (The bargain store is open, come inside)
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
My life is like unto 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
[Outro]
The bargain store is open, come inside (The bargain store is open, come inside)
The bargain store is open, come inside (The bargain store is open, come inside)
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
