Love's The Only House

I was standing in the grocery store line

The one they marked express

When this woman came through

With about twenty five things

And I said don't you know that more is less

She said this world is moving so fast

I just get more behind

Every day and every morning

When I make my coffee

I can't believe my life's turned out this way

All I could say was

Love's the only house

Big enough for all the pain in the world

Love's the only house big enough for all the pain

He was walking by the other day

And I said hey baby how you been

Yeah I got me a little girl now

And she's four years old

She's got a daddy's little grin

You only wanted what you can't have

And baby you can't have me now

I gave my heart to another

Yeah I'm a mother and he's a father

And we're a family and we got each other

And I found out the hard way that

Love's the only house

Big enough for all the pain in the world

Love's the only house big enough for all the pain

Drive three miles from all this prosperity

Down across the river and you see a ghetto there

And we got children walking round with guns

And they got knives and ** and pain to spare

Here I am in my clean white shirt

And little money in my pocket and a nice warm home

We got teenagers walking around

In a culture of darkness

Living together alone

All I can say is

Love the only house

Big enough for all the pain in the world

Love the only house

Big enough for all the pain

And I can't explain it

And I can't understand

That I've come down and get my hands dirty

And together we'll make a stand

Somewhere across the parking lot

Some bands playing out of tune

City streets are gonna burn

If we don't do something soon

Senorita can't quit crying

Baby's do now any day

Don one left got sick of trying

No one there to show them the way

She came down to the grocery store and she said I

I wanna buy a little partner milk

But I don't have any money

And I said hey I'll cover you honey

Cause somewhere yeah the pain

Things gotta go someplace

So come on down to my house

Don't you know I'm the only house

Big enough for all the pain in the world

Love's the only house

Big enough for all the pain

Don't you know that love's the only house

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah
