| I was there in my trailer
|
| Down at the job site
|
| The day that this stranger walked in
|
| His face looked so sad, and he carried a set of blueprints
|
| And as I unrolled them, the first thing I noticed
|
| Was there were no doors in the plans
|
| He said if you build this for me
|
| Then when she comes back
|
| She’ll never be able to leave me again
|
| I said if I did
|
| And she ever came back
|
| Friend, tell me how would she get in
|
| It would just be a prison that I locked you in
|
| If you couldn’t leave
|
| You’d never know if there was someone to love you
|
| The way that she didn’t before
|
| There’s two things that I know for sure
|
| It’s that you can’t make a woman feel something she don’t
|
| And you can’t build a house with no doors
|
| O’while he was quiet, I could tell he was thinking
|
| I thought I just ruined his day
|
| I just couldn’t bear to see this man’s last hope slip away
|
| So I thought real fast, and I started talking
|
| Said Buddy we tried this before
|
| And if there ain’t one, she’ll make one
|
| Either way she’ll run
|
| And leave you a house with a hole for a door
|
| I said if I did
|
| And she ever came back
|
| Friend, tell me how would she get in
|
| It would just be a prison that I locked you in
|
| If you couldn’t leave
|
| You’d never know if there was someone to love you
|
| The way that she didn’t before
|
| There’s two things that I know for sure
|
| It’s that you can’t make a woman feel something she don’t
|
| And you can’t build a house with no doors
|
| No, you can’t make a woman feel something she don’t
|
| And you can’t build a house with no doors |
