Below, you will find the lyrics for The House That Jack Built by Aretha Franklin.
This is the house that Jack built, y'all
Remember this house!
This was the land that he worked by hand
It was the dream of an upright man
There was the room that was filled with love
It was a love that I was proud of
This was a life of a love he planned
On a love the same ol' love
In the house that Jack built
Remember this house!
There was the fence that held our love
There was the gate that he walked out of
This is the heart that is turned to stone
This was the house, but it ain't no home
This is the love that I once had
In a dream that I thought was love
In the house that Jack built
I'm gonn' remember this house!
Oh-ohh wha-a-at is the use of crying?
You know I brought it on myself
There's no denying
But it see-e-ee-ems awful funny
That I didn't understand
Was it a house of an upright man?
Up on the hill
There's a big plan still
In the house that Jack built
I'm gonn' remember this house
Listen!
I got the house
I got the car
I got the rug
And I got the rack
But I ain't got Jack
And I want my Jack back!
I turned my back on Jack
He said he wasn't coming back
I turned my back on Jack
He said he wasn't coming back
Jack
Come on back
Jack
come on back
You oughtta come on back
To the one that you built
It's the same one you built
You oughtta come on back
come back
Come on, come on, come on
I didn't understand
Until I lost my upright man
Come on back, Jack
