House Where Love Lives Lyrics - Dolly Parton

A squeaky gate a welcome mat a big shaggy dog that lives out back 

And some might even call it a shack but this is a house where love lives 

The paint is peeling off of the cells the mailbox is full of bills 

And it's no mansion on the hill but this is a house where love lives 

There's a little boy who looks just you with freckles on his nose and eyes of blue 

A little girl almost two and everybody says she looks just like you 

So thank you dear for loving me though I know rich we'll never be 

But that doesn't matter to you and me cause we live in a house where love lives 

[ steel ] 

So thank you dear for loving me... 

We live in a house where love lives
