美國演藝巨星［雪兒］──軟式搖滾／抒情曲──［Living in a House Divided／生活在分裂的房屋］

Look at us, the picture of happiness
Not so long ago, oh, not so very long ago
The pride of all our friends
The perfect couple were we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad, sad story

Living in a house divided with a love thats so one-sided
Theres no chance at all, the walls have got to fall
Living in a house divided with a love thats so one-sided
Theres no chance at all, the walls have got to fall
Tumbling down

Look at us, the king and queen of emptiness
Living inside our castle of loneliness
Unable to make amends
Such perfect strangers are we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad story

Living in a house divided with a love thats so one-sided
Theres no chance at all, the walls have got to fall
Living in a house divided with a love thats so one-sided
Theres no chance at all, the walls have got to fall

Living in a house divided with a love thats so one-sided
Theres no chance at all, the walls have got to fall
Living in a house divided with a love thats so one-sided
Theres no chance at all...

１９７１年，美國演藝紅星雪兒（Cher）第七張個人專輯［Cher］重振聲勢，

成為雪兒首支冠軍曲（百萬金唱片），提名葛萊美流行女歌手．

［The Way of Love］也登上美國單曲榜＃７．

並讓專輯表現一向普通的雪兒首度拿到大碟類的百萬金唱片．

１９７２年７月，２６歲的雪兒乘勝追擊，推出第八張個人專輯［Foxy Lady／狡猾的性感夫人］（Kapp-MCA唱片發行）

由Snuff Garrent，丈夫Sonny Bono製作，樂評正面．

首支單曲［Living in a House Divided／生活在分裂的房屋］

由Tom Bahler創作,

歌詞講述一對夫妻的分離，相當辛酸地影射雪兒與當時的丈夫桑尼的婚姻。

由於雪兒不滿桑尼對她生活和事業的控制，他們的婚姻最終破裂。這首歌發行兩年後，他們離婚了。

Snuff Garrent製作成一首軟式搖滾／抒情曲，在悠緩的速度中，

雪兒娓娓演繹自己即將破碎的婚姻．

［Living in a House Divided］登上Billboard單曲榜＃２２，中等成功．

副榜－Easy Listening榜亞軍

國際：加拿大＃１７　澳大利亞＃６１．
