if I don’t treat you like a lady
you won’t hold my hand
And you don’t like it when I call you baby
don’t you understand
even though we don’t see eye to eye
that’s no reason to say goodbye
you gotta learn to give and take
there’s so much love we can make

chorus
even though we might be having a few doubts
let’s take the time and try to work things out
the little things we fuss and fight about
ain’t gonna matter 100 years from now

i admit i’m a little lazy–isn’t everyone
and you let things drive you crazy
sometimes you act so young
even though we don’t realize
we’d be foolish not to compromise
’cause what we have is all we’ve got
believe it or not
we’ve really got a lot

chorus

chorus

I met a fan dancer
Down in South Side Birmingham
She was running from a fat man
Selling salvation in his hand
Now he’s trying to save me
We’ll I’m doing alright the best that I can
Just another fallen angel
Trying to get through the night

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob’s ladder

Coming over the airwaves
The man says I’m overdue
Sing along, send some money
Join the chosen few
Well mister I’m not in a hurry
And I don’t want to be like you
And all I want from tomorrow
Is to get it better than today

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob’s ladder
