This big house that you provide is something to behold
But you've never learned that love can't be bought or sold
Expensive carpet on the floor, the best that you can buy
But without your love, it's nothing more than a fancy place to cry
I'd trade it all if we could laugh the way we used to
If I could come to know again the man that I once knew
Yes, you bought a mansion tall upon a hill so high
But without your love, it's nothing more than a fancy place to cry
Imported draperies, nothing spared to get the very best
Closets filled with costly clothes; I must watch how I dress
To entertain your business friends you're always bringing by
This house is not a home; it's just a fancy place to cry
