If you're a lover, you should know 
The lonely moments just get lonelier 
The longer you're in love 
Than if you were alone 
Memories turn into daydreams  [bad word] a taboo 

I don't want to be afraid 
The deeper that I go 
It takes my breath away 
Soft hearts electric souls 
Heart to heart and eyes to eyes 
Is this taboo? 

Baby we built this house 
On memories 
Take my picture now 
Shake it til you see it 
And when your fantasies  [bad word] your legacy 
Promise me a place 
In your house of memories 

I think of you from time to time 
More than I thought I would 
You were just too kind 
And I was too young to know 
That's all that really matters 
I was a fool 

Baby we built this house 
On memories 
Take my picture now 
Shake it til you see it 
And when your fantasies  [bad word] your legacy 
Promise me a place 
In your house of memories 

Those thoughts of 
Past lovers 
They'll always haunt me 
I wish I 
Could believe 
You'd never wrong me 
Then will you 
Remember 
Me in the same way 
As I remember you 

Baby we built this house 
On memories 
Take my picture now 
Shake it til you see it 
And when your fantasies  [bad word] your legacy 
Promise me a place 

Baby we built this house 
On memories 
Take my picture now 
Shake it til you see it 
And when your fantasies  [bad word] your legacy 
Promise me a place 
In your house of memories 
In your house of memories 
Promise me a place
