For years we both have lived on pride dear and we agree that love is gone Why oh why do we keep tryin' a house without love is not a home The love light in your eyes has faded and I'm contented just to roam We slaved to gain a worthless treasure a house without love is not a home [ steel ] No matter where our footsteps wander I know we'll both be all alone With the pride that came between us a house without love is not a home The simple things have gone forever we wanted wealth to call our own Now we've reached the hour of parting a house without love is not a home
