| She walked up to the doorway |
| Of a mansion on the hill |
| Was a sign for sale by owner |
| Taped up on the windowsill |
| The man said let me tell you |
| A little about this place |
| And as he spoke she noticed |
| A tear roll down his face |
| It’s a big ol' empty house |
| Where there used to be a home |
| There’s a big ol' broken heart |
| That’s been living there alone |
| If you fill it up with love |
| Oh, that’s what it’s all about |
| If you don’t you’ll wind up livin' |
| In a big ol' empty house |
| She pulled out a blank check |
| Took a pen and signed her name |
| She said both our situations |
| Seems like they’re one and the same |
| She said all this money |
| Is just what I settled for |
| But what I really wanted |
| I guess we could not afford |
| There’s a big ol' empty house |
| Where there used to be a home |
| There’s a big ol' broken heart |
| That’s been living in there alone |
| If you fill it up with love |
| Oh, that’s what it’s all about |
| If you don’t you’ll wind up livin' |
| In a big ol' empty house |
| If you don’t you’ll wind up livin' |
| In a big ol' empty house… |
