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 There was a room that was filled with love It was a love that I was proud of This is the life, the life that he planned On the 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 there was) There was the gate that he walked out of This is my heart it has turned to stone (Yes it is) This is the house, it ain't no home This is the love that I destroyed On the day that I toyed with love In the house that Jack built (The house that Jack built) I'm gonna remember this house Ohh, what'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 Until I lost my upright man Over the hill everything stands still In the house that Jack built (House that Jack built) I'm gonna 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) And I want my Jack back (Jack, Jack) 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 Ohh Jack, you ought to come on back (Come on, come on, come on, come on) Ohh Jack, you ought to come on back (Why don't you come on back Jack, 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) Ohh, come on back Jack (Come on, come on, come on, come on) Ohh, come back (Come on, come on, come on, come on) Ohh, I didn't understand until I lost my upright man Come on back Jack (Come on back Jack) You oughta come on home now
