Love Don't Live Here Anymore
Faith Evans · Faith Evans [1995]
Chorus
You abandoned me
love don't live here anymore
just a vacancy
love don't live here anymore
When you lived inside of me
there was nothing i could conceive
that you wouldn't do for me
trouble seemed so far away
you changed that right away
[Chorus]
oh oh
[Mary J Blige]
Love don't live here anymore
just emptiness and memories of what we had before
you went away
found another place to stay another home
[Chorus]
oh oh oh
[Faith Evans]
Through the windows of my eyes
everyone can see the loneliness inside of me
why'd you have to go away
don't you know i miss you so
i need your love
[Chorus]
[Mary J Blige]
[Chorus]
[Both]
love don't live here
love don't live here anymore (x4)
