[Verse]
I packed my bag with a heart so kind
Old saris
A teapot
Treasures I could find
Walking in
Feeling noble
Feeling high
Value Village
Where old dreams never die
[Chorus]
But one coupon only
They said with a grin
I gave you my past
My soul
My kin
One coupon only
That’s all you get
No double deals
No duet
[Verse 2]
A brass lamp from Delhi
It still shines bright
Books of poetry
Pages worn with light
I thought generosity could earn me a score
But the cashier said
“Sorry
We don’t do more”
[Prechorus]
I smiled
I pleaded
I pointed to the pile
She shook her head
No extra mile
[Chorus]
One coupon only
That’s the rule here
I gave you my nostalgia
My old frontier
One coupon only
That’s all you’ll see
No double offers
Just let it be
[Bridge]
I thought of bargaining like back in my town
But her firm reply just shut me down
“Ma’am
” she said
“it’s a corporate thing”
No extra coupon
No diamond ring
