Pat Benatar - 7 Rooms of Gloom lyrics

(Originally performed by the Four Tops)

I see a house, a house of stone

A lonely house, 'cos now you're gone

Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom

I live with emptiness, without your tenderness

You took the dream I had for us, and turned that dream into dust

I watch a phone that never rings, I watch a door that never rings

I need you back into my life and turn this darkness into light

I'm all alone in this house, turn this house into a home

I need your touch to comfort me, your tender tender arms that once held me

Without your love, your love inside

This house is just a place to run and hide

Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom

I live with emptiness, without your tenderness

Don't make me live from day to day, watching a clock that ticks away

Another day, another way, another reason for me to say

I need you here, here with me, I need you, darlin', desperately

I'm all alone, all alone in this house that's not a home

I miss your love I once have known, I miss your kiss that was my very very own

Empty silence surrounds me, lonely walls, they stare

Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom

I live with emptiness, without your tenderness

And all the windows are painted black, I'll wait right here 'til you get back

I keep waitin' and waitin', 'til your face again I see

(I want you back now) I keep waitin' and waitin', I want you back now

(I want you back now) I keep waitin' and waitin', c'mon back now

I keep waitin' and waitin' and waitin', waitin', waitin', waitin'

(I want you back now) C'mon back now
