A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sittin' there

But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home

When there's no one there to hold you tight

And no one there you can kiss goodnight


A room is still a room, even when there's nothin' there but gloom

But a room is not a house and a houser is not a home 

When the two of us are far apart 

And one of us has a broken heart


Now and then I call your name

And suddenly your face appears

But it's just a crazy game

When it ends, it ends in tears


Darling, have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us apart

I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home

When I climb the stair and turn the key

Please be there, still in me


I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home

When I climb the stair and turn the key

Please be there, still in love with me
