I have been on every type of aeroplane that's touched the sky I've seen the world a million times before I've taken trips on a whim, been to paradise and back again Had everything a man could ask for I've been to Italy drinking wine alone I've even seen the views from the Great China Wall But these experiences, they all seem dull 'Cause there's something missing in every place that I go How the hell was I supposed to know that when they said there ain't no place like home They meant you, babe And when I'm in my own bed, if you ain't there it still feels wrong Found out the hard way Even if we're in our hotel room, I know the truth They say there's no place like home But really there's no place like you Built a house brick by brick Put all of the nicest furniture inside of it, oh-oh-oh Walked on marble floors (floors) Walked through custom doors Feng Shui! Like a sensei, I must admit The kind of design you would only find in Rome With a welcome mat at the front door You would think it's the house of my dreams But what good is building a castle if you have no queen? How the hell was I supposed to know that when they said there ain't no place like home They meant you, babe And when I'm in my own bed, if you ain't there it still feels wrong Found out the hard way Even if we're in our hotel room, I know the truth They say there's no place like home But really there's no place like you You don't know how important you are to me, babe A million-dollar mansion (mansion) Two grand per square Still raggedy to me if you are not there How the hell was I supposed to know that when they said there ain't no place like home They meant you, babe And when I'm in my own bed, if you ain't there it still feels wrong Found out the hard way Even if we're in our hotel room, I know the truth They say there's no place like home But really there's no place like you
