A House is Not a Home Lyrics by Ronald Isley

Here I Am: Isley Meets Bacharach

2003

[Verse 1]
A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
Oh, 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
[Verse 2]
A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom
Oh, but a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
Darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
No, I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stair and turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love with me
[Outro]
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stair, turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love
Still in love
Still in love with me
Me
Oh, still in love
