She walked up to the doorway
|
Of a mansion on the hill
|
Was a sign for sale by owner
|
Taped up on the windowsill
|
The man said let me tell you
|
A little about this place
|
And as he spoke she noticed
|
A tear roll down his face
|
|
It's a big ol' empty house
|
Where there used to be a home
|
There's a big ol' broken heart
|
That's been living there alone
|
If you fill it up with love
|
Oh, that's what it's all about
|
If you don't you'll wind up livin'
|
In a big ol' empty house
|
|
She pulled out a blank check
|
Took a pen and signed her name
|
She said both our situations
|
Seems like they're one and the same
|
She said all this money
|
Is just what I settled for
|
But what I really wanted
|
I guess we could not afford
|
|
There's a big ol' empty house
|
Where there used to be a home
|
There's a big ol' broken heart
|
That's been living in there alone
|
If you fill it up with love
|
Oh, that's what it's all about
|
If you don't you'll wind up livin'
|
In a big ol' empty house
|
|
If you don't you'll wind up livin'
|
In a big ol' empty house...
