A Heart is a House For Love Lyrics by The Dells

The Five Heartbeats (Music from the Motion Picture)

1991

[Intro]
A heart is a house for love
And I've learned (I've learned)
That it don't take much to build it up
(Build it up)
(Build it up, build it up, build it up)
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Two wrongs don't make it right
But too long was the night I kept you guessing
It's all I can do (All I can do, baby)
And hope that maybe you'll come around again
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see
That the wonder of devotion
(It doesn't, it doesn't come free)
[Chorus]
A heart is a house for love
And I've learned (I've learned)
That it don't take much to break
A heart is a house for love
And I've learned (I've learned)
That it don't take much to build it up
Oh
[Verse 2]
Today, I understand
I'll pay the price to be all the man you need
You know you got to be free
(Go find your way)
Go find your way, find your way back to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see (I see)
That the wonder of devotion
(It doesn't, it doesn't come free)
[Chorus]
A heart is a house for love
And I've learned (I've learned)
That it don't take much to break
A heart is a house for love
And I've learned (I've learned)
That it don't take much to build it up, build it up
(A heart is a house for love)
And I've learned, I've learned, I've learned
(I've learned)
That it don't take much to break
(A heart is a house for love)
Hey, hey, hey
(I've learned)
That it don't take much to build it up
(Build it up, build it up, build it up)
Oh, oh
(Build it up, build it up, build it up)
Mhm
[Bridge]
Build it up together and then it won't fall
(Oh, oh, oh)
Build a house so the heart can withstand through it all
(Is there a heart?)
Is there a heart in your house tonight?
(Stand up)
Stand up
(Stand up
Let me know, let me know that you understand)
Is there a heart in your house tonight?
(You got to have love)
You got to have love
(Love in your heart tonight)
Build it up together and then it won't fall
(Build it up)
Build a house so the heart can withstand through it all
(Two hearts belong together)
Build it up together and then it won't fall
(Two hearts are better than one)
Build a house so the heart can withstand through it all
(Build it up)
Is there a heart?
Is there a heart in the house tonight?
(Stand up)
Stand up
(Stand up
Let me know that you understand
Better listen to me
Love doesn't come free
You gotta build it up)
Is there a heart?
Is there a heart in the house tonight?
(Stand up)
Stand up
Is there a heart in your house tonight?
(One love, my love, your love, our love is alright)
Is there a heart?
Is there a heart in the house tonight?
(Is there a heart in the house tonight?)
Is there a heart in the house tonight?
[Interlude]
Always
Never outside, baby
You're always on my mind
I love, love, love, love
Love you all the time
(Build it up, build it up, build it up)
Oh, build it up
(A heart is a house for love)
Build it up, build it up, build it up, build it up, build it up
(A heart is a house for love)
Let me know that you understand
(Build it up, build it up, build it up)
[Outro]
A heart is a house for love
