Chorus: Sally: This house is a house of troubles/ this house is a house of tears/ the walls shake in desperation/ it's been a prison for many a year Marc: This house is a house of troubles/ this house is a house of tears/ the walls shake in desperation/ it's been a prison for many a year M: I gave you love S: You gave me a necklace of diamonds M: I gave you love S: You gave me a Mercedes Benz S&M: I gave you love, love, love S: Well I thought I loved a hero, but it seems I loved a fool M: Gee, thanks! S: Too many times I've seen you falling drunken off your stool I've seen you in the looking small on the floor of some dark bar Spending all your money like the vagabond you are You promised me a heaven, but you stuck me in a hell You're lazy and you're indiscreet, and you're bad in bed as well M: Well, I've had no complaints before. S: Lipstick where I've never seen lipstick marks before Out each night to play the field, and me I'm locked behind this door Repeat Chorus M: You gave me lies and deception S: I gave you love M: You gave me an overdraft S: I gave you love M: You gave me the cold shoulder S: I gave you love M: You gave me an icy stare S&M: I gave you love, love, love M: I thought I married elegant S: You did! M: But it seems I married cheap Seems you found some doubtful ways to boost your __________________________(???) I've seen you draped in furs, but they're as fake as fake can be They go with your complexion and your personality Well, when things start to get bad -- your hand up to your head Making for the tranquilizers or some boy to your bed S: Uh, you can do it! M: Behaving ways I've never seen a lady act before Out each night to play the field And me I'm locked behind my door I gave you love S: You gave me an elegant prison M: I gave you love S: You gave me a washing machine M: I gave you love S: You gave me nothing M: I gave you love S: You gave me nothing S&M: You gave me everything but love, love, love Repeat Chorus
