This is an oldie. I've tweaked a couple of lines and made a new melody.

V1
I’m like a mismatched cup and saucer
… A tangled mystery cord
A Tinker Toy, a Lego set
An old Punjabi sword
Chorus
But take me home with you, baby
… I might be somethin’ you need
I’ll be your yard sale, darlin’
… Ain’t no other treasure like me
V2
I’m like an almost antique painting
… A winter coat in spring
A clock without its cuckoo
A puppet with no strings
Chorus
So take me home with you, baby
… I might be somethin’ you need
I’ll be your yard sale, darlin’
… Ain’t no other treasure like me
Bridge
Your eyes show you’re a kind man
Not an … 'I'll leave you behind' man
Like one I loved before
…Well, I'm no longer his
…I know you'll care for me 'as is'
Chorus
Oh, please take me home with you, baby
…I might be somethin’ you need
…Like an … out-of-print book
You’ve been wantin’ to read
I’ll be your yard sale, darlin’
…Ain’t no other treasure like me
…I’ll be your yard sale, darlin’
… Oh, everything you need
