Some folks want mansions, and some want gold
Others seek wisdom and fame untold
And some want something they can't explain
As they climb the ladder of love

The ladder of love is not easy to climb
The things we want most seem the hardest to find

Some want a little and some a lot
Some are happy with what they've got
But I want someone here by my side
As I climb the ladder of love

(Some want little and some a lot)
(Some folks are happy with what they've got)
But I want someone here by my side
As I climb the ladder of love
As I climb the ladder (Ooo) of love
