Text: Pat Benatar. Seven The Hard Way. 7 Rooms of Gloom.

I see a house, a house of stone
A lonely house, 'cause now you're gone
7 rooms, that's all it is, 7 rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness, without your tenderness

You can take the dream I had for us
And turn that dream into dust
I watch a phone that never rings
I watch your door that never brings

Brings 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
7 rooms, that's all it is, 7 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 darling, desperately
I'm all alone, all alone
In this house that's not a home

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

In the silence that surrounds me
Lonely walls, they stand
7 rooms, that's all it is, 7 rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness, without your tenderness

And all the windows are painted black
I'll wait right here until you get back
I'll keep waiting, and waiting
Until your face again I see

Darling, yeah yeah, huh

I want you back now
I keep waiting, and waiting
I want you back now
I keep waiting, and waiting

Come on back now
I keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
I want you back now, oh now
Come on back now
