Love's The Only House Lyrics
I was standing in the grocery store line
The one they marked express
When this woman came through with about 25 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 4 years old and she's got her daddy's little grin
You only wanted what you can't have
And baby you can't have me now
I gave me heart to another
Yeah I'm a mother and he's a father
And we're a family
And we've 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
You drive three miles from all this prosperity, down across the river and you see a ghetto there
And we got children walking around with guns
And they got knives and drugs and pain to spare
And here I am in my clean, white shirt
With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home
And we got teenagers walkin' around in a culture of darkness, livin' together alone
All I can say is...
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
And I can't explain it and I can't understand
But I'll come down and get my hands dirty and together we'll make a stand
Somewhere cross the parking lot some bands playin out of tune
City streets are gonna burn if we don't do somethin soon
And senorita can't quit cryin, baby's due now any day
Don Juan left, got sick of tryin
No one there to show him the way
She came down to the grocery store
She said "I, I wanna buy a little carton of milk but I don't have any money"
I said "hey I'll cover you honey, cause the pain's gotta go somewhere"
Yeah the pain's gotta go someplace
So come on down to my house
Don't you know 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
