HouseWhere
NobodyLives
Once it held laughter
Once it helddreams
Did they throw it away
Did theyknowwhat itmeans
Did someone'sheart break
Ordid someonedo
someonewrong?
So if you find someone
Someone tohave,
someone tohold
Don't trade it for silver
Don't trade it forgold
I haveall of life's treasures
And theyare fineand they
aregood
They remindme that houses
Are justmadeofwood
Whatmakesahousegrand
Ain't the roof or thedoors
If there's love inahouse
It'sapalace for sure
Without love...
It ain't nothinbut ahouse
Ahousewherenobody lives
Without love it ain't nothin
But ahouse, ahousewhere
Nobody lives.
