| Nothing can stop him now no one can top him now
|
| I guess I’ll have to let him go
|
| Up, up, up, the ladder of success (up, up, up, up.)
|
| Once he let me share his dreams
|
| But now that they come true it seems
|
| He doesn’t want my love I guess look there goes my happiness
|
| They’re climbin' up up up the ladder of success
|
| (The ladder of success.)
|
| Things are like he said they’d be
|
| I thought his plans included me
|
| He forgot his words of love fame is all he’s thinking of
|
| A going up up up up the ladder of success
|
| (The ladder of success.)
|
| I liked him better in his white dungarees
|
| When he was all mine with patches on his knees
|
| (With patches on his knees)
|
| When his name went up in lights
|
| All I got were lonely nights
|
| He doesn’t want my love I guess
|
| Look there goes my happiness
|
| A goin' up up up up the ladder of success
|
| (Climbin' up whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa…) |
