I poured the concrete Cut the two by fours Planted that oak tree And stained that front door I hung your porch swing Painted that picket fence Yeah, I built the whole thing nail by nail and brick by brick Oh, but girl, what you did Was put the singin' in the kitchen The dancin' down the hallway The livin' in living room And the savin' me on Sunday You put the tangle in the sheets And the perfume on my pillow Without you It's just a pile of sticks and stones I built a house You made a home You picked every colour And bought all the antiques Hung up pictures of all our favourite memories You watered those roses Out in the front yard Left the "I love you" on the mirror in a lipstick heart Girl, I love everything you are 'Cause you're still the singin' in the kitchen The dancin' down the hallway The livin' in living room And the savin' me on Sunday You put the tangle in the sheets And the perfume on my pillow Without you It's just a pile of sticks and stones I built a house And you made a home ♪ You put the tangle in the sheets And the perfume on my pillow Without you It's just a pile of sticks and stones I built a house And you made a home
