THE BARGAIN (song lyrics) BLUES

They say that love’s an even trade
Believe this truth or not
No matter what she gave to me
I gave more than I got

Although I bought her gold and furs
And things that cost a lot
She never loved me quite as much
I gave more than I got

Love is just a trading game
But too many chips I bought
She made me pay too much you see
I gave more than I got

Tis best to give and not receive
But I don’t believe that rot
My baby took all that I had
I gave more than I got

“Bargains, bargains, get em here,”
Old love she says to me.
Just give your lover all you got
And live in misery.
