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 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
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 se?orita can't quit cryin 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 big enough for all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough for all the pain.
