I see a house, a house of stone
A lonely house, 'cause now you're gone
Seven rooms, that's all it is
Seven rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness without your tenderness
You can take the dream I had for us
And turn that dream into dust
I watch a phone that never rings
I watch your door that never brings
Brings you back into my life and turn this darkness into light
I'm all alone in this house, turn this house into a home
I need your touch to comfort me
Your tender, tender arms that once held me
Without your love, your love inside
This house is just a place to run and hide
Seven rooms, that's all it is
Seven rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness without your tenderness
Don't make me live from day to day
Watching a clock that ticks away
Another day, another way, another reason for me to say
I need you here, here with me
I need you darling, desperately
I'm all alone, all alone in this house that's not a home
I miss your love, I once had known
I miss your kiss that was my very, very own
In the silence that surrounds me, lonely walls, they stand
Seven rooms, that's all it is
Seven rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness, without your tenderness
And all the windows are painted black
I'll wait right here 'till you get back
I'll keep waiting and waiting, 'till your face again I see
(I want you back now)
I keep waiting and waiting, I want you back now
I keep waiting and waiting, come on back now
I keep waiting and waiting and waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
(I want you back now) Woo, now
Come on back now
