Homer Banks & Raymond Jackson & Bettye CrutcherLove’s Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down (Part 1) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is it one, is it two, is it, three or four
Just how many hearts have I broke
One last night and one the night before
And now it seems I can't break no more
I'm afraid I had the day
Now that you walk my way
[Hook]
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
[Verse 2]
It's kind of strange how you entered my life
Like a raging fire on a cold black night
Now breakin' hearts has gone on with a feeler
Now that I know how love can make you feel
When you love it hurts to loose
Now it seems my playhouse too
[Hook]
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
[Verse 3]
I play with hearts like kids play with toys
I gotta kick out of send and destroy them
I broke until I couldn't break no more
As if they were found in a kitchen stove
I can see it plain as day
I'm not gonna have much time to play
[Hook]
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down (Yes it is)
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
(Tear it down, brick by brick)
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down (Plank by plank)
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down (Let's see the roof)
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down (Startin' to leak)
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down (The Cold Rain)
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
(It's pourin' down on me)
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
(Just like the walls of Jericho)
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
(I'm tumblin' down now)
Love is gonna tear your playhouse down
