A House Is Not a Home Lyrics

Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...

A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
But 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

Whoa... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...
Girl


A room is a still a room
Even when there's nothin' there but gloom
But 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 call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends
It ends in tears...

Pretend it's all 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, sayin' that you're still in love with me... yeah...

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...
I said still in love...
Still in love... with me... yeah...
Are you gonna be in love with me?
I want you and need to be, yeah
Still in love with me...
Say you're gonna be in love with me
It's drivin' me crazy to think that my baby
Couldn't be still in love with me
Are you gonna be say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be say you're gonna be
Well, well, well, well
Still in love so in love still in love with me
Are you gonna be?
Say that you're gonna be...
Still in love with me... yeah...
With me... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh...
Still in love with me, yeah... yeah...

Luther Ronzoni Vandross (April 20, 1951 - July 1, 2005), New York City, NY, was an American Soul and RnB singer whose career spanned four decades.

In the 70s, he worked as a backing singer Chic and for David Bowie (on the Young Americans album). He later found success as a solo artist with Superstar and A House is not a Home.

In the 80s, Vandross was a vocalist on early Change singles (Searching), whilst continuing his solo career with such releases as "Never too Much", "Power Of Love/Love Power", "If only for One Night", "Here and Now".

In the 90s, he was more famous for duets with Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey (amongst others), than for his solo work.

It was an ongoing battle with his weight that may have ultimately proved his undoing. He suffered a stroke in 2003, from which he never really recovered, and died in 2005.

During his career, he sold 25 million albums and won eight Grammy awards including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance four times. He won four Grammy awards in 2004, including the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for the track "Dance With My Father," co-written with Richard Marx.
