Hammer and Nails
Building Love: Dean Martin's Tale of Hammers, Nails, and True Home Bliss
Lyrics
You take a hammer, you get some nails, you build a home
You establish a foundation for a home by using a hammer and nails.
Find a woman put that woman in that little home
After building the home, you find a woman to share it with.
But without love, true, true love in that home
The presence of true love is essential for a meaningful home.
Yes, without love, that little home just ain't a home
Without love, the physical structure of a home lacks emotional fulfillment.
You cheat a little, you leave your baby all alone
If you betray your partner, leaving them alone, it damages the relationship.
You bend the nails, you walk the boards in that little home
Actions like cheating and neglect affect the stability of the home.
'cause without love, true, true love in that home
Love is crucial for the home to truly feel like a home.
Yes, without love that little home can't be a home
Without love, the physical space may exist, but it lacks emotional warmth.
Yes, without love in that home
Emphasizes the importance of love in creating a genuine home environment.
There ain't a hammer big enough
No amount of physical strength (hammer) can compensate for the absence of love.
So when your nights of fun are through
After indulging in pleasure, one may find oneself alone.
Don't be surprised to find yourself there all alone
Warns that a lack of love can lead to loneliness.
'cause without love, true, true love in that home
Reiterates the importance of love in making a home truly fulfilling.
Yeh, without love that little home just can't be a home
Without love, the physical structure remains inadequate for a home.
Yeh, without love that little home just can't be a home
Restates that love is indispensable for a home to be a genuine home.
