For years we both have lived on pride, dear   And we agree that love is gone   Why, oh why do we keep tryin'?   A house without love is not a home      The lovelight in your eyes has faded   And I'm contented just to roam   We slaved to gain a worthless treasure   A house without love is not a home      No matter where our footsteps wander   I know we'll both be all alone   With the pride that came between us   A house without love is not a home      The simple things have gone forever   We wanted wealth to call our own   And now we've reached the hour of parting   A house without love is not a home
