The House That Jack Built

This is the house that Jack built, y'all, remember this house This was the land that he worked by hand, it was the dream of an upright man This was the room that was filled with love, it was a love that he was proud of This was a life of a love he planned on a love, the same old love In the house that Jack built (the house that Jack built) Remember this house There was the fence that held our love (yes it was) There was the gate that he walked out of This is the heart that is turned to stone (yes it is) This was the house, but it ain't no home This is the love that I once had In a dream that I thought was love In the house that Jack built (the house that Jack built) I'm gon' remember this house Oh-oh wha-at's the use of crying? You know, I brought it on myself, there's no denying But it seems awful funny that I didn't understand Was it a house of an upright man? Yeah Up on the hill, there's a big plan still In the house that Jack built (the house that Jack built) I'm gon' remember this house (the house that Jack built) Listen! I got the house, I got the car I got the rug, and I got the rack But I ain't got Jack (Jack, Jack, I ain't got Jack, Jack) And I want my Jack back! I turned my back on Jack He said he wasn't coming back I turned my back on Jack He said he wasn't coming back Oh, Jack, oh, come on back Oh, Jack, oh, come on back (why don't you come on back Jack?) You oughtta' come on back (come on back, Jack) To the one that you built (come on back, Jack) It's the same one you built (come on back, Jack) You oughtta' come on back (come on back, Jack) Oh, now then... I didn't understand Until that upright man, come on back Jack (come on back, Jack) You oughtta' come on home
