Lyrics: You’re the Only Bargain I’ve Got
Album: The Best of Freda Payne
Artist: Freda Payne
 
A father’s love, I never knew
He upped and left when I was two
Grew up without his protection
He wasn’t there to guide my direction

In search of love, I made a mistake
I had a child I could not forsake
The worst in life, I’ve been through
The best that happened to me was you

CHORUS:
You’re the only bargain I’ve got
To me, my love, you mean a lot
You’re the only bargain I’ve got
Without your love, what have I got?

(You’re the only bargain I’ve got
Without your love, what have I got?)

I gave my love so foolishly
Each affair hurted me
I was lost without a friend
Seems that life was at its end

From out of nowhere, you arrived,
Gave me the love I was deprived
With your love inside, I feel
I couldn’t have found a better deal

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

To think of all that I’ve been through
The hurt, the shame, the heartache too
The price of love was much too high
‘Cause when I gave, I was still denied

All along, men have done me wrong
‘Til the day you came along
I gave my love all in vain
You gave me more in a fair exchange

CHORUS
(repeat and fade out)
