Ain't Nobody Home © Sandy Rapp 1986
Pull the shades, and latch the gate
There Ain't Nobody Home.
Your mama's gone, she won't be here
You made her blue and now there's no one home to you as far as
You're concerned, the bridge is burned,
And won't go up again.
Remember the true love, when our love was new love,
How did the wine taste then?
Those were the days, heart-throbbed and crazed,
We sang our love song loud.
We were so happy, we were so found.
We were so on the town you even drank the roses down.
You took my heart, and threw the parts,
From off your rosy cloud.
You thought it would mend dear, you think again, dear,
How does the wine taste now?
And as you ski, will you remember Argentina in the summer when it snows?
Lonely the days, well dem is the breaks,
There Ain't Nobody Home.
Counterpoint against first verse:
So pull the shades, and latch the gate
Ain't Nobody Home now, she won't be here for you,
And when you dreams don't come true, it's gonna be sad but through
You're gonna find your fortunes older and colder.
Remember the true love, when our love was new love,
How did the wine taste when?
The seeds we'd sown, were grown, the corn was ripe and
Life was just an ice cream cone, before you'd blown.
You should have known you'd be on your own, There Ain't Nobody
Lonely the days well, dem is the breaks
There Ain't Nobody Home.
