[Verse 1]
I promised you the world before we were married
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
