Aretha Franklin — The House That Jack Built

[Intro] This is the house that Jack built, y'all Remember this house [Verse 1] This was the land that he worked by hand It was the dream of an upright man There was the room that was filled with love It was a love that I was proud of This was a life of a love that he planned On the love, the same old love [Chorus] In the house that Jack built (The house that Jack built) Remember this house [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] In the house that Jack built (The house that Jack built) I'm gon' remember this house [Bridge] Oh, 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 Was it a house of an upright man, y'all? 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 (I ain't got Jack, Jack, Jack) And I want my Jack back! (I ain't got Jack, Jack, Jack) [Outro] 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 You oughta come on back (Come on, come on, come on) Oh, Jack (Come on back, Jack) You oughta come on back (Come on back, Jack) To the one that you built (Come on back, Jack) It's the same one that you built (Come on back, Jack) You oughta come on back, Jack (Come on, come on, come on) Oh, come back I didn't understand (Come on back, Jack) Until I lost my upright man (Come on back, Jack) Come on back, Jack (Come on back, Jack) You oughta come on home now (Come on back, Jack)
