I kept you there, kicking up dust, stealing the little more,I kept you there, ordering what I would not sell, stocking my shelves. I kept you there, working, counting the cost, balancing my tills.The others visited and took advantage of my sales,I kept them from the corners, they left the little more. I kept you there.I kept you there.We hadeverything and a little more,
