The bar was filled with smoke and lies, I couldn't see a thing, it burned my eyes I pushed a strange woman off my lap, She had a snake tattooed on her back
The doors opened into the night, The silence kissed my worried life I heard a song comin' from the back, It played over and over again
[Chorus] I stood just around the bend, over the hill, Across the river bed, one step closer to hell If I forget about my past, forget about my guilt, I go back to the house that love built, that love built
I went back to the bar again, And headed straight for the band I need to remember not to forget, All the life and the love we had
So play that song and make it right, Get me out of this lonely night Slapped all my money into his hand, Said play it over and over again
[Chorus]
Let me come inside, baby, Let me come inside into the house that love built, That love built, the house that love built, The house that love built
Can you see the light, can you see the light of need shinin' in my eye? Can you see the light, can you see the light of need shinin' in my eye? Well, you know I need you baby, and I sure ain't gonna tell you no lie Can you see the light, can you see the light of want shinin' on my face? Can you see the light, can you see the light of want shinin' on my face? hey Well, you know I want you, mama, come on, we'll get from this place, now look out!, yeah! Can you see the light, can you see the light of love shinin' from my heart? Can you see the light, can you see the light of love shinin' from my heart? Yeah Well, you know I love you, baby, an' I sure want to give this thing a start, Lord! Can you see the light? Can you see the light? Can you see the light?, say! Can you see the light, yeah?
Girl, you're looking fine tonight, and every guy has got you in his sights What's a doing with a clown like me, surely our life leads to mysteries
chorus: So tonight I'll ask the star above "How did I ever win your love?" What did I do? What did I say, to turn your angel eyes my way?
Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance, Never even got one second glance Across a crowded room was close enough, I could look but I could never touch.
(repeat chorus)
Don't anyone wake me, If it's just a dream 'cause she's the best thing, That's ever happened to me
All you fellows, you can look all you llike, but this girl, you see, she's leavin' here with me tonight
There's just one more thing I have to kknow, If this is love why does it scare me so? It must be something only you can see, 'Cause I feel it when you look at me
Well, I lost you at the border When you crossed it Had your number, baby But I lost it I know your love Was just a flimflam
Well, you can't pull the wool over me 'Cause I'm a confidence man
I can talk old ladies Out of all of their money I can talk young girls Into calling me honey You can talk all you want, baby But I got fast hands
You're a real soft touch But I'm a confidence man
I know your mother taught you how to bake a pie And read a book Your daddy taught you how to tell a lie And not get shook Let me tell you somethin', baby You better learn, if you're gonna con the con man You're liable to get burned
Now, now, now We were stretched out on the floor, baby It's all elastic But you stretched it too tight And it snapped like plastic And the pieces went flying across the badlands
Your discovery to what could be heard 'Cause I'm a confidence man
Now, maybe Chicago Is where you're bound But love is a cheap perfume It hangs around And you roll the dice Now let the bet stand
Well, you can't pull the wool over me 'Cause I'm a confidence man
No, you can't pull the wool over me 'Cause I'm a confidence man
Said, "You can't pull the wool over me 'Cause I'm a confidence man"
I was born at midnight, I was up running by dawn Ain't nobody can stop me now, 'cause I was out the door and gone Everybody knows you better, try and keep outta my way Because some people come and go, but I'm evil and I'm here to stay You know I can kill a man, not even care I can make love to you little girl, till she just can't go nowhere That's the way I live, just fighting and lovin' day to day You know some people come and go, but I'm evil and I'm here to stay Well get me a one way ticket, on that road to hell You ever try to cross me, man, you ain't gonna live to tell No, no you better listen to what I say You know some people come and go, but I'm evil and I'm here to stay I said some people come and go, but I'm evil and I'm here to stay Well you better not try to cut me down, 'cause I'm evil and I'm here to stay
Lost in a wilderness of loneliness and time My sole possessions are the memories of my mind An empty garden bears no fruit of any kind It seems that endless solitude is all that I can find
I was wrong to think a joker could be king Without your love I won't amount to anything No not a thing
You're coming home I know that I was wrong You're coming home I couldn't be that strong You're coming home Back where you belong
I thought that life alone would free me from detail But somehow freedom ended up being my jail Words that once were hard to say now flow with velvet touch Always knew that I missed you but I never knew how much
I was wrong, you proved a blind man could learn to see That my life meant nothing without you next to me Right next to me
You're coming home Well, I know that I was wrong You're coming home I just couldn't be that strong You're coming home Baby, back where you belong
I thought I'd make it on my own But I was lost and all alone You were right, I should have known You're coming home
Lost in a wilderness of loneliness and time My sole possessions are the memories of my mind I was wrong to think a joker could be king Without your love I won't amount to anything
You're coming home Well, I know that I was wrong You're coming home Yeah, I just couldn't be that strong You're coming home Baby, back where you belong
You're ridin' high, babe Sailing the seas of success But how long will it last That's just anybody's guess Let me give you fair warning Tomorrow never knows Since the beginning of time That's just how it goes
So many times, babe I've seen it happen Count your blessings while you may Just when you think you've got it all It could all get blown away It could all get blown away
She tells you that she loves you And you're feeling good today She kisses you with passion But passion fades away Like a thief in the night Someone steals her from your heart Soon you're askin' in the darkness ?Why am I all alone
So many times, babe I've seen it happen Count your blessings while you may Just when you think you've got it all It could all get blown away It could all get blown away
Let me give you fair warning Tomorrow never knows Since the beginning of time That's just how it goes
So many times, babe I've seen it happen Count your blessings while you may Just when you think you've got it all It could all get blown away It could all get blown away
Well, in case you haven't noticed, the girl's in love with you But you just seem to ignore her, tell me what you tryin' to do Instead of looking the other way, you outta give her the eye 'Cause if she wants to love you, don't let your chance go by Well, now look at her, man, she got blue eyes and long blonde hair And you know pretty girls like that, you just don't see everywhere Yeah, start cashin' in on your good fortune, boy Go on and give her a try 'Cause if she wants to love you, don't let your chance go by Well, I've known you for a long time, you know I don't give no jive And I know she's got some loving, that'll help keep you alive If you turn that poor little girl down, you're gonna make her cry Because if she wants to love you, don't let your chance go by Yeah, if she wants to love you, don't let your chance go by, Whoa! Yeah, she wants to love you, don't let your chance go by I say it again, don't let your chance go by One more time! Don't let your chance go by
The bar was filled with smoke and lies, I couldn't see a thing, it burned my eyes I pushed a strange woman off my lap, She had a snake tattooed on her back
The doors opened into the night, The silence kissed my worried life I heard a song comin' from the back, It played over and over again
[Chorus] I stood just around the bend, over the hill, Across the river bed, one step closer to hell If I forget about my past, forget about my guilt, I go back to the house that love built, that love built
I went back to the bar again, And headed straight for the band I need to remember not to forget, All the life and the love we had

[Chorus]
Let me come inside, baby, Let me come inside into the house that love built, That love built, the house that love built, The house that love built

When a man loves the woman, And she tries to turn away Got no heart to follow, Only pain and sorrow So don't look the other away
Leave the light on in your window, Leave the key above your door Leave the light on baby, That's just what I am looking for
I am lost without your loving, Though I try to make a stand Well, I am finally stranded, Came up empty-handed Yeah, I am lost in no man's land
Leave the light on in your window, Leave the key above your door Leave the light on baby, That's just what I am looking for
