Dolly Parton-Bargain Store with lyrics

Bargain store
My life is like unto (likened to?) a bargain store
And I may have just what you're lookin' 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

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 will 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

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 lookin' for
If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used
With a little mendin' it could be as good as new

The bargain store is open, come inside
The bargain store is open, come inside

It does sound like "My life is likened to a bargain store",but everywhere I checked for the lyrics it says "my life is like unto a bargain store". It doesn't even make proper sense. Anyways,not really my problem :)

The song ends at 02:40,so u can stop after that.The picture got streched too long,and I didn't doublecheck.

@Iwillsucceed1 "Like unto" is Queen's English, rarely used in USA"s heavily modified slang. But it is quite proper and does make perfect sense.

That's true, Loretta is certainly one of the greats along with Barbara Mandrell and Dolly. What is even more admirable is their ability, (although Barbara has now retired, but she suffered a lot in the accident), to sustain their creativity over decades. Today Dolly Parton's Better Day album soared into UK charts, all genres mixed,, at number 9 and it just came out there on August 30/31st; She got a lot of airplay on BBC. Just goes to show, if you get played,, people will pay attention.

@jerkyboi916 you must be a very good little punk kid if u love Dolly.. good for u

[DOLLYWAYNE38]

@yu3p2x1 you hit the nail on the head only herself and Loretta Lynn were doing risque songs then came Barbara Mandrell men were allowed to do it for the most part Dolly n Loretta has had some songs banned but through it all they served and paved the way today's singer male and female should bow down at their royal feet

This is a great song. Unfortunately, all those years ago when Dolly Parton recorded it, views were narrower and it was considered to riskee, just like Down From Dover. So such songs were side tracked as people in the country music business didn't want to take risks with songs that might upset sensibilities. Dolly paved the way at that time in dealing with diffirent themes. She's still doing it her way today.
