I promised you the world before we were marrying now maybe you think I let you down The address where we live you're ashamed to give to our old friends in town It hurts when you cry and you won't tell me why Are you sure you want to see it through Then baby stand by me and soon you're gonna see our hopes and dreams come true We're climbing up up higher we're gonna set the world on fire Today we may be down but tomorrow We're climbing up up up to the top of this town to the top of this town Those bargain store dresses you can give 'em to your sister You won't need them anymore You can stop saving stamps and that old broken lamp you can throw it out the door In your arms I'm a king I can do anything if you love me as much as I love you Then baby stand by me and soon you're gonna see our hopes and dreams come true We're climbing up up higher we're gonna set the world on fire Today we may be down but tomorrow We're climbing up up up to the top of this town to the top of this town to the top of this town
