Lyrics A House Is Not a Home - Ella Fitzgerald

A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
A chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight

A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom
A room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart

Now and then I speak your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tears

Darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs
And turn the key
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me

It's so nice to have a man around the house
It's so nice to have a man around the house
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs
And turn the key
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me

A house is not a home
A home is not a house
A house is not a home without a man, a man, a man
A house is not a home without a man
