ladder of success

Skeeter Davis

Nothing can stopping now no one can talking now
I guess I have to let him go up up up a ladder of success
Once he let me share his dreams but now that day come through it seems
He doesn't want my love I guess look there goes my happiness
A climbin' up up up a 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 goin' up up up a ladder of success
- (???) -
When he was all mine with patches on his knees
When his name went up in lights all I've got were lonely nights
He doesn't want my love I guess look there goes my happiness
A goin' up up up a ladder of success
