I was standin'
In the grocery
Story line
The one
They marked
Express
When this woman
Came through
With about
Twenty-five things
And I said
Don't you know
That more is less
She said
This world is
Movin' so fast
I just get
More behind
Every day
And every morning
When I make
My coffee
I can't believe
My life's
Turned out
This way
All I could
Say was love's
The only house
Big enough
For all the pain
In the world
Love's the
Only house
Big enough for
All the pain
He was
Walkin' by
The other day
And I said
Hey baby,
How you been?
Yeah I got me
A little girl now
And she's four
Years old
She's got
Her daddy's
Little grin
And you only
Wanted what
You can't have
And baby
You can't
Have me now
I gave my heart
To another
Yeah, I'm
A mother and
He's a father and
We're a family
And we got
Each other
And I found out
The hard way
That love's the
Only house big
Enough for all the
Pain in the world
Love's the
Only house
Big enough for
All the pain
You drive
Three miles
From all this
Prosperity
Down across
The river
And you see
A ghetto there
And we got
Children
Walkin' around
With guns
And they got
Knives and drugs
And pain to spare
And here I am
In my clean
White shirt
With a little
Money in my pocket
And a nice
Warm home
And we got
Teenagers
Walkin' around
In a culture
Of darkness
Livin' together
Alone
All I can say is
Love's the only
House big enough
For all the pain
In the world
Love's
The only house
Big enough
For all the pain
And I can't
Explain it
And I can't
Understand
But I've come down
To get my
Hands dirty
And together
We'll make
A stand
Somewhere 'cross
The parking lot
Some band's
Playin'
Out of tune
City streets
Are gonna burn
If we don't do
Something soon
A senorita
Can't quit cryin'
Baby's due now
Any day
Don juan left
Got sick of tryin'
No one there to
Show him the way
She came down to
The grocery store
And she said I...
I wanna buy a
Little carton of
Milk but I don't
Have any money
I said hey
I'll cover you
Honey
Cause the pain's
Gotta go somewhere
Yeah, the pain's
Gotta go someplace
So come on down
To my house
Don't you know
That...
Love's the only
House big enough
For all the pain
In the world
Love's the
Only house
Big enough for
All the pain
Don't you know
That love's
The only house
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah...
Yeah...
