In My House
"In My House" is the first single released from the American girl group Mary Jane Girls album, Only Four You in 1985. The song went to number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in April of that year and remained atop the chart for two weeks. It was also a top 10 hit on both the U.S. pop and R&B charts. The song peaked at number seven on the pop chart in June 1985 and remained in the Top 40 for 12 weeks. It is the group's biggest hit song and their only Top 40 hit, although they have had other singles succeed on both the R&B and dance charts.
The song was produced by Rick James. In the song, the group declares their devotion to a man and telling him that they will be available to him anytime: If you need some love and tenderness / And it's me, baby, that you miss / Here's the key to unlock the door / To my house, my house.
In 2009, VH1 ranked "In My House" #52 on its program 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.
In 1984, the Parents Music Resource Center was organized in the U.S. to draw attention to music which the group believed contained inappropriate content for children. "In My House" was chosen on the group's "Filthy Fifteen" list due to its alleged sexual innuendo. However, during the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s program, the group went on record as saying the song is not about sex, but about love.

My Home
by: Thousand Foot KrutchThis place is many things, but I'd never call it home,
It's just a building in a city, everywhere I go
This place is many things, but I can't call it home,
Home is the place you are and I just wanna let you know
That I've done a few things, I wasn't proud of,
Might of said a few things that hurt you,
But you're still the only one, who fills me up,
And every night spent alone, was worth it
You are my home, you are my everything, when I feel so alone,
You are my home, you are my shelter, when all my hope is gone
And I've seen many things, but they don't look like home,
There just the bright lights from a city glowing all night long,
And I've seen many faces, but they all look the same,
Home is the place you are, and I just wanna let you know
That I've done a few things, I wasn't proud of,
Might of said a few things that hurt you,
But you're still the only one, who fills me up,
And all the tears that we've shared, were worth it
You are my home, you are my everything, when I feel so alone,
You are my home, you are my shelter, when all my hope is gone
You are my home, you are my everything, when I feel so alone,
You are my heart, you are the one, when it all comes undone
When it all comes undone, when it all comes undone
When it all comes undone, when it all comes undone
You are my home, you are my everything, when I feel so alone,
You are my home, you are my shelter, when all my hope is gone
You are my home, you are my everything, when I feel so alone,
