The Who - Bargain Lyrics

The Who Lyrics

"Bargain"

I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I had
To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad

I'd pay any price just to get you
I'd work all my life and I will
To win you I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed

I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

I'd gladly lose me to find you
Gladly give up all I got
To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop

I'd pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I'm gonna drown an unsung man

I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

I sit looking 'round
I look at my face in the mirror
I know I'm worth nothing without you
And like one and one don't make two
One and one make one
And I'm looking for that free ride to me
I'm looking for you

I'd gladly lose me to find you
Gladly give up all I got
To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop

I'd pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I'm gonna drown an unsung man

I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

"Bargain" was inspired by Pete Townshend's spiritual guru, Meher Baba. Another song on the album about Meher Baba is "Baba O'Riley". Townshend has said, "The song is simply about losing one's ego as a devotee of Meher Baba. I constantly try to lose myself and find him. I'm not very successful, I'm afraid, but this song expresses how much of a bargain it would be to lose everything in order to be at one with God."

The majority of this song is sung by Roger Daltrey. Pete Townshend sings the bridge.

This song can also be found on Pete Townshend's solo recordings: albums "Scoop" (1983) and "The Lifehouse Chronicles" (2000).

Pete Townshend revealed during the concert in Newark on the 19th of March 2016 that "Bargain" was his favorite song on the album.
