Lyrics
Hammer and Nails
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You take a hammer, you get some nails, you build a home
Find a woman put that woman in that little home
But without love, true, true love in that home
Yes, without love, that little home just ain't a home
You cheat a little, you leave your baby all alone
You bend the nails, you walk the boards in that little home
'Cuz without love, true, true love in that home
Yes, without love that little home can't be a home
Yes, without love in that home
There ain't a hammer big enough
So when your nights of fun are through
Don't be surprised to find yourself there all alone
'Cuz without love, true, true love in that home
Yeh, without love that little home just can't be a home
Yeh, without love that little home just can't be a home
