Love's The Only House Lyrics - Greatest Hits - Martina Mcbride

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 with every day 

And every morning when I make my coffee 

I can't believe my life's turned 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 me a little girl now and she's 4 years old 

And she's got her daddy's little grin 

And you only want what you can't have 

And baby you can't have me now 

I gave my heart to another 

Yeah I'm a 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 with 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 walkin' around in a culture of darkness 

Livin' together alone, and 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 playin' out of tune 

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

And senorita can't quit cryin', baby's due now any day 

Don Juan left, got sick of tryin' 

No one there to show him the way 

She came down to the grocery 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
