This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew his wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many shouts
Now he trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about
Chorus:
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got the time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window pane
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer
He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky
This ole house is a-gettin' old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
Oh, his knees are a-gettin' chilly
But he feel no fear of pain
'cause he sees an angel peekin'
Through a broken window pane
Chorus
---- musical interlude ----
This ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings its arms
When the night is a-gettin' feeble
This old house is a-needin' paint
Just like him it's tuckered out
But he's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Chorus

It hurts to be in love
When the only one you love
Turns out to be someone who's
Not in love with you
It hurts to love her so
When deep down inside you know
She will never want you
No matter what you do
And so you cry a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Ah, I die a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love this way
How long can I exist
Wanting lips I've never kissed
She gives all her kisses
To somebody else
She thinks I'm just a friend
Though it hurts I must pretend
The only way to keep her
Is to keep it to myself
And so I cry a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Oh, I die a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love this way
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
And so I cry a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Oh, I die a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love this way
It hurts to be in love
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love
Night and day, day and night
It hurts to be in love
Day and night, night and day
