Greg Brown - If You Don't Get it at Home lyrics

[Chorus:] If you don't get it at home you're going to go looking If you don't get it at home you're going to go looking If you don't get it at home The need for love won't leave you alone If you don't get it at home you're going to go looking Children they don't need a lot of stuff Children sure do need a lot of love They need love to give them pride To make them feel real good inside If they don't get it at home they're going to go looking 'cause... [Chorus] Lovers got to feel it real and strong One kiss can mean more than making it all night long With no kiss and no embrace You get to feeling out of place If you don't get it at home you'll go looking 'cause... [Chorus] It ain't down at the bottom of a jug And it ain't in the broke-down palace of d** It's right there in our hearts That's where we gotta start If we don't get it at home we'll go looking As the branch is bent so shall it grow That might be true but even so A strong wind of real love Will straighten us right back up And we might find a place our heart is welcome But... [Chorus]
