March 19 1995: "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" was released as the fourth single from the ballads collection "Something To Remember."

In 1984 Madonna made a cover of this Rose Royce classic. Alledgedly it was a personal favorite of hers and in 1995 she included the song - in a slightly remixed version - in Something To Remember and released it as a single in March 1996. But obviously nobody had been waiting for the release of a 12-year old cover song; in its first week it couldn't even get into the US Hot 100. Eventually it crawled up to #78, making it one of Madonna's biggest chart flops.

Video

Probably one of the reasons why the single flopped was the rather lame video by Jean-Baptiste Mondino. The video (set to the Soulpower Remix) was shot in the middle of the Evita filming, so Madonna only spend two days filming it. The video is basically one long shot of Madonna in a big marble room with waving curtains, where she's yearning for love.




Lyrics

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

When you lived inside of me
There was nothing I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Troubles seemed so far away
You changed that right away
Baby

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories
Of what we had before
You went away
Found another place to stay
Another home

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

In the windmills of my eyes
Everyone can see
The loneliness inside me
Why'd ya have to go away
Don't you know I miss you so
And need your love

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
Don't live here anymore
No no, don't, don't live here anymore

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
No, it don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
It don't live here anymore
