Back to the Old House Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
There's too many bad memories

[Refrain]
Oh, the house

The saddest thing I've ever seen
And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never even told you
Oh, and I meant to
Are you still there
Or have you moved away?
Or have you moved away?

[Refrain]
Oh, have you?
Have you?

[Verse 3]
I would love to go
Back to the old house
But I never will
I never will
I never will
