Greg Brown If You Don't Get It At Home
[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 drugs
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]
