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
