A room is still a room
Even though there's nothing there but gloom
[Refrain 2]
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]

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
[Refrain 3]
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs
And turn the key
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me
[Refrain 3]
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs
And turn the key
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me
