He meets her at the front door, he can tell she's had a hard day at work

She's been needing him and he's sure been wantin' her

He touches her with tenderness, takes her in his arms and takes it slow

What a shame she can't get that at home.

[Chorus]

What a shame she can't get that at home

There's nothing back there but a lonely house

And love ain't all about wood and stone

He satisfies all her needs and wants

What a shame she can't get that at home.

After the lovin', they lie there and talk for a while

She loves how he listens and he sure loves to see her smile

He wants to keep her but he loves her enough to let her go

What a shame she can't get that at home.

[Chorus]

What a shame she can't get that at home

There's nothing back there but a lonely house

And love ain't all about wood and stone

He satisfies all her needs and wants

What a shame she can't get that at home.

He satisfies all her needs and wants

What a shame she can't get that at home...
