A House Is Not a Home A chair is still a chair Even when there’s no one sitting there But a chair is not a house And a house is not a home When there’s no one there to hold you tight And no one there you can kiss goodnight A room is still a room Even when there’s nothing there but gloom But a room is not a house And a house is not a home When the two of us are far apart And one of us has a broken heart Now and then I speak your name And suddenly your face appears But it’s just a crazy game When it ends It ends in tears Darling, have a heart Don’t let one mistake keep us apart I’m not meant to live alone Turn this house into a home When I climb the stair and turn the key Oh please be there Still in love with me It’s so nice to have a man around the house It’s so nice to have a man around the house I’m not meant to live alone Turn this house into a home When I climb the stair and turn the key Oh please be there Still in love with me A house is not a home A home is not a house A house is not a home Without a man A house is not a home without a man
