I was standing in the grocery store line
The one they marked express
When this woman came through with about 25 things
And I said don´t you know that more is less
She said this world is movin´ so fast
I just get more behind with every day
And every mornin´ when I make my coffee
I can´t believe my life´s turned out this way
All I could say was

Love´s the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love´s the only house big enough for all the pain

He was walkin´ by the other day and I said
Hey baby...how you been
Yeah I got me a little girl now and she´s 4 years old
And she´s got her daddy´s little grin
And you only wanted what you can´t have
And baby you can´t have me now
I gave me heart to another
Yeah I´m a mother and he´s a father and we´re a family and we got each other
And I found out the hard way that

Love´s the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love´s the only house big enough for all the pain

You drive three miles from all this prosperity
Down across the river and you see a ghetto there
And we got children walking around with guns
And they got knives and drugs and pain to spare
And here I am in my clean white shirt
With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home
And we got teenagers walkin´ around in a culture of darkness
Livin´ together alone...all I can

Love´s the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love´s the only house big enough for all the pain

And I can´t explain it and I can´t understand
But I´ll come down and get my hands dirty and together we´ll make a stand
Somewhere ´cross the parking lot some bands playin´ out of tune
City streets are gonna burn if we don´t do something soon
And se?orita can´t quit cryin baby´s due now any day
Don Juan left got sick of trying
No one there to show him the way
She came down to the grocery store and she said I
I wanna buy a little carton of milk but I don´t have any money
I said hey I´ll cover you honey ´cause the pain´s gotta go somewhere
Yeah the pain´s gotta go someplace
So come on down to my house
Don´t you know that

Love´s the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love´s the only house big enough for all the pain
Don´t you know that
Love´s the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love´s the only house big enough for all the pain
