(Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland) (Originally performed by the Four Tops) I see a house, a house of stone A lonely house, 'cos now you're gone Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom I live with emptiness, without your tenderness You took the dream I had for us, and turned that dream into dust I watch a phone that never rings, I watch a door that never rings I need you back into my life and turn this darkness into light I'm all alone in this house, turn this house into a home I need your touch to comfort me, your tender tender arms that once held me Without your love, your love inside This house is just a place to run and hide Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom I live with emptiness, without your tenderness Don't make me live from day to day, watching a clock that ticks away Another day, another way, another reason for me to say I need you here, here with me, I need you, darlin', desperately I'm all alone, all alone in this house that's not a home I miss your love I once have known, I miss your kiss that was my very very own Empty silence surrounds me, lonely walls, they stare Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom I live with emptiness, without your tenderness And all the windows are painted black, I'll wait right here 'til you get back I keep waitin' and waitin', 'til your face again I see (I want you back now) I keep waitin' and waitin', I want you back now (I want you back now) I keep waitin' and waitin', c'mon back now I keep waitin' and waitin' and waitin', waitin', waitin', waitin' (I want you back now) C'mon back now
