Don't call me for supper if you don't mean to feed me Don't tell me you love me with that fun in your hand Cause I fall down dumbfounded In the face of your beauty Yeah, one look from you and I am a fool In the palm of your hand
Chorus:
There's a house we call love built next door to hate And both of them got lawns and a white picket gate Their taxes don't differ and their water's the same But in one you get comfort and the other house shame
Hey, do you mind if I speak You know I'd like to be frank Your cooking is wretched and this coffee is rank But I look cross this table Into the clutch of your eyes And I'm kind of thrilled that we have been cursed To live side by side
Chorus:
There's a house we call love built next door to hate And both of them got lawns and a white picket gate Their taxes don't differ and their water's the same But in one you get comfort and the other house shame
