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...)
