[Intro]
It's my house and I live here
It's my house and I live here
[Verse 1]
There's a welcome mat at the door
And if you come on in
You're gonna get much more
There's my chair
I put it there
Everything you see
Is with love and care
[Chorus]
It's my house and I live here
I wanna tell you
It's my house and I live here
[Verse 2]
On the table, there sits a rose
Through every window
A little light flows
Books of feeling on the shelf above
'Cause it was built for love
It was built for love
[Chorus]
It's my house and I live here
It's my house and I live here
[Verse 2]
There's a candle to light the stairs
Where my dreams await someone to share
Ooh, there's music on the radio
And good vibrations won't let you go
I put my name on the ceilin' above
'Cause it was built for love
It was built for love, ooh
[Bridge]
You say you wanna move in with me
You say you wanna move in with me
Got to follow the rules to get me
Got to follow the rules to get me
You wanna visit my house
Say you wanna drop by
You wanna visit my house
You wanna drop by
Wanna visit my house, yeah
To see me sometimes
[Verse 3]
There's a welcome mat at the door
And if you come on in
You're gonna get much more
I put my name in the ceilin' above
'Cause it was built for love
It was built for love
[Outro]
It's my house and I live here
I wanna tell you
It's my house and I live here
It's my house and I live here
It's my house and I live here (Come on in)
It's my house and I live here (If love's on your mind)
It's my house and I live here (Drop by anytime)
It's my house and I live here (Yeah, my house)
It's my house and I live here ('Cause it was)
It's my house and I live here (Built for love)
It's my house and I live here (Built for love)
It's my house and I live here (My house)
It's my house and I live here (Anytime)
It's my house and I live here (If love's on your mind)
It's my house and I live here (If love's on your mind, come on, come on, come on by)
It's my house and I live here (Come on, come on, come on by)
It's my house and I live here (Come on, come on, come on by)
It's my house and I live here (Come on, come on)
