Love don't hang out in a grand hotel Got no satin sheets, got no servant's bell Ain't in Bel Air on some big old yacht Ain't in a beach house on Montserrat There's a house on the edge of town It's a little old, it's a little run down Full of laughter and tears and toys Crazy things only love enjoys [Chorus] I know where love lives I know where love lives She's sitting on the back step in the evening air With sea green eyes and her chestnut hair You keep your mansions of gold, buddy, I don't care Cause I know where love lives You keep all that your fortune brings All your fancy words, all your precious things No matter what all your money buys It's in the arms of love That true treasure lies [Chorus] I know where love lives Keep your mansions of gold Keep your mansions of gold
