很棒的一首老歌，歌名還曾是聯考的作文題目呢！雖然歌詞講的是男女的愛，但放在house 和 home之間做區別，正如同『硬體』與『軟體』的對比，愛，就是關鍵。
Luther Vandross - A House Is Not A Home
A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sittin' there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight
Woah girl
椅子就是椅子
儘管沒人使用
但椅子不能當作房子
就像房子不可能就是家
尤其當沒人會在家環抱著你
或是給你晚安吻
A room is a still a room
Even when there's nothin' there but gloom
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart
房間就只是房間
儘管裡面是一片漆黑
但房間不等於房子
就像房子不可能是個家
尤其當你我距離遙遠
而我心一片破碎
Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tears
每當我喚你的名字
你的臉浮現
也許這是場笑話
而當這場笑話結束，卻不是愉快的結局
Pretty little darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there
Sayin' that you're still in love with me, yeah
我親愛的佳人，有顆美麗的心
別再讓妳我之間的問題阻撓我們
我註定要跟你在一起
將這冰冷的房子變作家
每當我踏上台階 轉上門把
請，務必在那
說著會一直愛我的話
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love
I said, still in love, still in love with me, yeah
我生來不是孤獨的
將冰冷的房子變作你我的家
當我踏上台階 轉上門把
請，務必在那
像你說的那樣 愛著我吧 愛著我吧
Are you gonna be in love with me?
I want you and need you to be, yeah
Still in love with me
Say you're gonna be in love with me
It's drivin' me crazy to think
That my baby couldn't be still in love with me
你還會愛著我嗎？
我想要你的愛 也需要你愛
好好的愛我
說你會愛我
因為每當我想著
你會有一天不再愛我 就足以讓我瘋狂
Are you gonna be? Say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be? Say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be? Say you're gonna be
Well well, well well
你會吧？說你會
Still in love, so in love, still in love with me
Are you gonna be?
Say that you're gonna be
Still in love with me, yeah
說你還愛著我 說你愛我
會吧？
說你還愛著我
說愛
With me, oh
Still in love with me, yeah
說你還
愛著我
