7 Rooms Of Gloom Lyrics - Singles - Benatar Pat

(Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland) 

(Originally performed by the Four Tops) 

I see a house, a house of stone 

A lonely house, 'cos now you're gone 

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

I live with emptiness, without your tenderness 

You took the dream I had for us, and turned that dream into dust 

I watch a phone that never rings, I watch a door that never rings 

I need you back into my life and 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, your 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 

I live with emptiness, without your tenderness 

Don't make me live from day to day, watching a clock that ticks away 

Another day, another way, another reason for me to say 

I need you here, here with me, I need you, darlin', desperately 

I'm all alone, all alone in this house that's not a home 

I miss your love I once have known, I miss your kiss that was my very very own 

Empty silence surrounds me, lonely walls, they stare 

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

I live with emptiness, without your tenderness 

And all the windows are painted black, I'll wait right here 'til you get back 

I keep waitin' and waitin', 'til your face again I see 

(I want you back now) I keep waitin' and waitin', I want you back now 

(I want you back now) I keep waitin' and waitin', c'mon back now 

I keep waitin' and waitin' and waitin', waitin', waitin', waitin' 

(I want you back now) C'mon back now
