looking for a tune (Dennis Brown?)

I've had a song stuck in my head for a while now, but cannot remember what it is for the life of me. I'm pretty sure it's some 80s D. Brown, but all I can remember is a bit of the riddim and the line "and this house is not a home". I know it's not the actual song "House is not a Home" but that has made searching for it really difficult. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

could it be "I'm Coming Home Tonight"?, it would be a Joe Gibbs prod.,early 80s, so you're in the ballpark..... he adlibs "A House Is Not A Home" on the outro, if i remember.

thanks for the help, but we still haven't found it. (though i've been finding many great Dennis Brown tracks I had forgotten about in the process, which is nice. And for that matter, does anyone else think "Wake Up" particularly the b-side of the LP, is amazing and greatly underrated compared to "Revolution" from the same year?)
For what it's worth, I remember it being more of a digital, early 80s dancehall style tune, kind of along the lines of D. Brown's version of "rainbow country," beginning with a killer horn drop into the riddim. And, while I'm sure these lyrics are probably off somewhat, it went something like "(???,) and this house is not a home, when there is no one living there" hope this makes it a little clearer?
