7 Rooms Of Gloom

Four Tops

(Holland - Dozier - Holland)



I see a house, a house of stone

(Seven rooms)

A lonely house 'cause now you've gone

(Filled with gloom)

Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom

(Just seven rooms of gloom)

I live with emptiness

(Filled with emptiness)

Without your tenderness



You took the dream I had for us

Turned my dreams into dust

I watch the phone never rings

I watch the door that never rings

Bring you back into my life

Turn this darkness into light

I'm all alone in this house

Turn this house into a home



I need your touch to comfort me

The tender, tender arms that once held me



Without your love, your love inside

This house is just a place to run and hide

Seven rooms, that's all it is - seven rooms of gloom

Rooms of emptiness

Without your tenderness



Don't make me live from day to day

Watching the clock that ticks away

Another day, another way

Another reason for me to stay

I need you here, here with me

I need your loving desperately

I'm all alone, all alone

In this house that's not a home



I miss your love I once had known

I miss your kiss that was my very, very own



Empty silence surrounding me

Lonely walls they stare at me

Seven rooms, that's all it is - rooms of gloom

I live with emptiness

Without your tenderness



All the windows are painted black

And wait right here until you come back

I'll keep waiting, waiting

Until your face again I see [fade]
