Love's the Only House

Love's The Only House - The Hit Crew

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 movin' so fast

I just get more behind with every day

And every mornin' 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 walkin' 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

And 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 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 *** 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 see

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 something soon

And senorita can't quit crying

Baby's due now any day

Don Juan left got sick of trying

No one there to show him the way

She came down to

The grocery store and 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

Don't you know that

Love's the only house

Yeah yeah
