If you're a lover, you should know
The lonely moments just get lonelier
The longer you're in love
Than if you were alone
Memories turn into daydreams
Become a taboo

I don't want to be afraid
The deeper that I go
It takes my breath away
Soft hearts electric souls
Heart to heart and eyes to eyes
Is this taboo?

Baby, we built this house on memories
Take my picture now
Shake it 'til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories

I think of you from time to time
More than I thought I would
You were just too kind
And I was too young to know
That's all that really matters
I was a fool

Baby, we built this house on memories
Take my picture now
Shake it 'til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories

Those thoughts of past lovers they'll always haunt me
I wish I could believe you'd never wrong me
Then will you remember me in the same way
As I remember you

Baby we built this house on memories
Take my picture now
Shake it 'til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place

Baby we built this house on memories
Take my picture now
Shake it 'til you see it
And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories

In your house of memories
Promise me a place
