Love Don’t Live Here

Lyrics

[Intro] You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore [Verse 1] When you lived inside of me There was nothing I could conceive that you wouldn't do for me Trouble seemed so far away You changed that right away, baby [Chorus] You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore [Verse 2] Love don't live here anymore Just emptiness and memories of what we had before Ah, before you went away Found another place to stay, another home [Chorus] You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] In the windmill of my eyes Everyone can see the loneliness inside of me Why'd you have to go away? Don't you know I miss you so and need your love? [Chorus] You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore [Chorus] You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore Love don't live here And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore I said, love don't live here And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here [Verse 4] Daddy was a preacher, Mama had the features of an angel Born in Oklahoma to an Anglo whose Anglo Was pimping like a Klango in the cutlass backseat window I do this for my kid folk Who saw Katrina hit and said, BBut goddamn it, have we been broke Scribes for the king and please send my pleasantries to the local peasantries But although we live in hell, we can still dream heavily" (Don't live here, don't live here anymore) Scholar's a felon, ain't no telling, fella! He told me I wasn't shit, I had to show him better Poetic like a letter from my mistress who after my performance in Paris 12 district Wrote in broken English in a match book "You are terrific and your style was godly amazing!" Signed with pink-stained lips and a chocolate she was saving And that note, I kept, it wept On the metro station steps, not giving a fuck about who saw me For my bravery just applaud me, but love don't live here And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here [Chorus] You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore Love don't live here And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore Love don't live here And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here [Bridge] Oh, I'll see you in the future When we're old and when we're full of stories to be told Cross my heart and hope to die See you with your laughter lines I'll see you there [Chorus] You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore Love don't live here And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore Love don't live here And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here [Outro] I'll see you in the future when we're older And we are full of stories to be told Cross my heart and hope to die I'll see you with your laughter lines
