This is the house that Jack built y'all
|
Remember this house
|
|
This was the land that he worked by hand
|
This is the dream of an upright man
|
There was a room that was filled with love
|
It was a love that I was proud of
|
There was a life that I had planned
|
With my love, my same old love
|
In the house that Jack built
|
Remember this house
|
|
There was a fence that held our love
|
There was a gate that walked out of
|
There was a heart that was turned to stone
|
This is the house that just ain't no home
|
There was a love that I destroyed
|
With my love, my same old love
|
In the house that Jack built
|
Remember this house
|
|
Oh, what is the use of crying?
|
Because I brought it on myself
|
There ain't no relying
|
And it seems awful funny
|
That I didn't understand
|
Until I lost my upright man
|
|
Up on the hill everything stands still
|
In the house that Jack built
|
Remember this house
|
|
I got the house
|
I got the car
|
I got the rug
|
And I got the rack
|
But I ain't got Jack
|
And I want my Jack back
|
|
I turned my back on Jack
|
He said he wasn't coming back
|
I turned my back on Jack
|
He said he wasn't coming back
|
Well come on back, come on back
|
To the same one you built
|
Yeah, it's the same one you built
|
Better come on back Jack
|
Oh, come back Jack
|
Baby, you can't understand
|
Until you lose your upright man
|
You better come on back Jack
|
Better come on back Jack
|
Oh, come back Jack
|
