DOLLY PARTON - Little At a Time lyrics

rate me

(Dolly Parton)

Well, the lady said will this be cash and I thought boy if that'en ain't a laugh

Why I don't carry money of that kind

Just put it on my charge account on account of I can't pay you now

I'll pay for it a little at a time.

I'm just an average working girl trying to get along in this old world

Looking for that rich man I might find

But up till now the times are hard I'm living on my credit card

And paying for life a little at time.

A little at a time that's how I pay my bills

That's the story of the working girl

Always going overboard buying things I can't afford

In this charge account credit card pay for it a little at a time world.

My weekly check don't amount to a lot

But I'm making payments on what I got

At the end of the month I ain't got one thin dime

And this old car I bought brand new but I'm still payin' on it too

I've been payin' for it a little at a time.

Got a new apartment I just moved in and I'll do well to pay the rent

It's unfurnished so a bargain I must find

I saw a sign in a store downtown house goods for nothing down

Pay for it a little at a time.

A little at a time that's how I pay my bill

That's the story of the working girl

Always going overboard buying things I can't afford

In this charge account credit card pay for it a little at a time world.

I want to pay on my layaway here's a dollar on my mink collar...
