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 moving so fast  
But I just get more behind with every day  
And every morning 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 walking 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 want 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've 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 ricer and you see a ghetto there  
And we got children walking around with guns  
And they got knives with 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, and 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 senorita can't quit cryin, baby's due now any day  
Don Juan left, got sick of tryin  
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
