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

This is the dream of an upright man

There was a room that was filled with love

It was a love that I was proud of

There was a life that I had planned

With my love, my same old love

In the house that Jack built

Remember this house

There was a fence that held our love

There was a gate that walked out of

There was a heart that was turned to stone

This is the house that just ain't no home

There was a love that I destroyed

With my love, my same old love

In the house that Jack built

Remember this house

Oh, what is the use of crying?

Because I brought it on myself

There ain't no relying

And it seems awful funny

That I didn't understand

Until I lost my upright man

Up on the hill everything stands still

In the house that Jack built

Remember this house

I got the house

I got the car

I got the rug

And I got the rack

But I ain't got 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

Well come on back, come on back

To the same one you built

Yeah, it's the same one you built

Better come on back Jack

Oh, come back Jack

Baby, you can't understand

Until you lose your upright man

You better come on back Jack

Better come on back Jack

Oh, come back Jack
