You take a hammer, you get some nails, you build a home
Find a woman put that woman in that little home
But without love, true, true love in that home
Yes, without love, that little home just ain't a home

You cheat a little, you leave your baby all alone
You bend the nails, you walk the boards in that little home
'cause without love, true, true love in that home
Yes, without love that little home can't be a home

Yes, without love in that home
There ain't a hammer big enough
So when your nights of fun are through
Don't be surprised to find yourself there all alone
'cause without love, true, true love in that home
Yeh, without love that little home just can't be a home
Yeh, without love that little home just can't be a home
