Give-away shops, swap shops, freeshops, or free stores are stores where all goods are free. They are similar to charity shops, with mostly second-hand items — only everything is available at no cost. Whether it is a book, a piece of furniture, a garment or a household item, it is all freely given away, although some operate a one-in, one-out–type policy (swap shops).
The free store is a form of constructive direct action that provides a shopping alternative to a monetary framework, allowing people to exchange goods and services outside of a money-based economy. The roots of the "free store" lie in the anarchist movement[dubious – discuss]. Today the idea is kept alive by the new generations of environmentalists who view the idea as an intriguing way to raise awareness about consumer culture and to promote the reuse of commodities. Although free stores have not been uncommon in the United States since the 1960s, the freegan movement has inspired the establishment of more free stores.
Culturally, some people feel that accepting free goods carries a stigma, so many people who use these shops are those who are led to them either by need (financially poor, such as students, single parents and the elderly) or by conviction (anti-capitalists and environmentalists). Swap shops, where you are asked to bring something in order to take something, are one way in which stigma issues are addressed.
Love it babe [x12 in groups of 3]
[Verse 1:]
Baby you don't know
What you done to me
Between me and you I feel a chemistry.
I won't let no one come and take your place
Cause the love you give it can't be replaced.
See No one else loves me like you do
That's why I don't mind to
Spend my life with you
I Wanna please you in any way I can
I Wanna share my world and don't you understand.
[Chorus:]
Your love is a one in a million
It goes on and on and on
You give me a really good feelin' all day long
Your love is one in a million
It goes on and on and on
You give me a really good feelin' all day long
[Verse 2:]
Turn me inside out,
Make my heart speak
Need no one else you're all I need

Makes me love everything 'bout you.

[Chorus]
[Bridge: x2]
I'll give you anything you want from me
Anything you want,
Anything you need,
Anything your soul desires.
[Chorus x2]
