Love's The Only House

Love's The Only House
Martina McBride

I was standin' 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 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...

Chorus

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 four 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 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...

(Repeat Chorus)

You drive three miles from all this prosperity
Down across the river, and you see a ghetto there
And we got children walkin' 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...

(Repeat Chorus)

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 parkin' lot
Some band's 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, and
She said, 'I, I wanna but 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'...

(Chorus Out)
