I was standing in the grocery store line
The one they marked express
When this woman came through with about 25 things
And I said donīt you know that more is less
She said this world is moving so fast
But I just get more behind with every day
And every morning when I make my coffee
I canīt believe my lifeīs turned out this way
All I could say was
Loveīs the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Loveīs the only house big enough for all the pain
He was walking by the other day and I said
Hey baby how you been?
Yeah I got me a little girl now and sheīs 4 years old
And sheīs got her daddyīs little grin
And you only want what you canīt have
And baby you canīt have me now
I gave me heart to another
Yeah Iīm a mother and heīs a father
And weīve got each other
And I found out the hard way that
Loveīs the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Loveīs the only house big enough for all the pain
You drive three miles from all this prosperity
Down across the ricer and you see a ghetto there
And we got children walking around with guns
And they got knives with 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 walkinī around in a culture of darkness
Livinī together alone, and all I can
Loveīs the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Loveīs the only house big enough for all the pain
And I canīt explain it and I canīt understand
But Iīll come down and get my hands dirty and together weīll make a stand
Somewhere cross the parking lot some bands playin out of tune
City streets are gonna burn if we donīt do something soon
And senorita canīt quit cryin, babyīs 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 donīt have any money
I said hey Iīll cover you honey cause the painīs gotta go somewhere
Yeah the painīs gotta go someplace
So come on down to my house
Donīt you know that
Loveīs the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Loveīs the only house big enough for all the pain
