Martina Mcbride - Love's The Only House lyrics

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 moving so fast

I just get more behind everyday

and every morning when I make my coffee

I can't believe my life's turning 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 walking by the other day and I said

"Hey, baby, how you been?

yeah, I got 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 men ow, I gave my heart to another

yeah, I'm mother and he's a father and we're a family

and we've 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 walking around

in a culture of darkness living together alone

All I can say is

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 playing out of tune

city streets are gonna burn if we don't do something soon

and senorita can't quit crying , 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 groceery 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
