7 Rooms Of Gloom
Pat Benatar Lyrics

I see a house, a house of stone
The singer sees a lonely house built with stones.

A lonely house, 'cause now you're gone
The house feels lonely since the person she loves is gone.

7 rooms, that's all it is
The house has only seven rooms.

7 Rooms Of Gloom
The seven rooms in the house represent the sadness and emptiness she is feeling.

I live with emptiness, without your tenderness
The singer feels the emptiness of living without the love and tenderness of the person she loves.

You can take the dream I had for us, and turn that dream into dust
The person she loves has taken the dream they shared and shattered it completely.

I watch a phone that never rings
She is waiting for a call from the person she loves that never comes.

I watch your door that never brings
She watches the door, hoping that the person she loves will come back through it, but it never happens.

Brings you back into my life, and turn this darkness into light
She hopes that the person she loves will return to her life and bring back the happiness and light that she once had.

I'm all alone in this house, turn this house into a home
The singer is alone in the house and wants the person she loves to come back and turn the house into a home again.

I need your touch to comfort me
The singer needs the person she loves to touch her and comfort her.

Your tender, tender arms that once held me
She misses the person she loves holding her in their tender arms.

Without your love, your love inside
The singer feels incomplete without the love of the person she loves.

This house is just a place to run and hide
Without the person she loves, the house is just a place to hide from the world and her feelings.

Don't make me live from day to day
She doesn't want to live her life day to day without the person she loves.

Watching a clock that ticks away
She feels like she is just watching time pass by as she waits for the person she loves.

Another day, another way, another reason for me to say
Every day brings a new way and reason for her to express how much she needs the person she loves.

I need you here, here with me
The singer needs the person she loves to be with her.

I need you darling, desperately
She needs the person she loves desperately.

I'm all alone, all alone in this house that's not a home
She feels lonely in the house without the person she loves and wants it to feel like a home again.

I miss your love, I once had known
She misses the love she once shared with the person she loves.

I miss your kiss that was my very, very own
She misses the kisses that were hers alone from the person she loves.

In the silence that surrounds me, lonely walls - they stand
The silence around her makes her feel the loneliness and emptiness more and reminds her of the walls that surround her.

And all the windows are painted black
The windows are painted black, symbolizing the darkness and sadness she feels without the person she loves.

I'll wait right here until you get back
She will wait for the person she loves to return.

I'll keep waiting, and waiting, until your face again I see
She will keep waiting for the person she loves to return until she sees their face again.

Darling, Yeah Hea, Huh
A term of endearment to the person she loves.

I want you back now
The singer wants the person she loves to come back to her now.

I keep waiting, and waiting
She keeps waiting for the person she loves to return.

Come on back now....
She wants the person she loves to come back to her now.

I keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
She keeps waiting for the person she loves to return, with an emphasis on how long it feels.

I want you back now, Whoa - now
The singer wants the person she loves to return to her now.

Come on back now...
She wants the person she loves to come back to her now.
