Matthew Wilder — Ladder of Lovers

You stay out of touch, just far enough In case you ever need to retreat Water and sand, you're out of my hands The moment that you feel the heat Calling a vice, you’re turning to ice Your eyes are frozen on the door Do you think that you'll find exactly what you're looking for? Climbing up the ladder of lovers Darlin’, you don't dream about me This simple design may save you some time Then where will you be? Climbing up the ladder of lovers Baby, don't pretend that you care That new boy you found may take you uptown or maybe nowhere I was so unprepared for the lure of your stare You simply would not look away With a boy at your side, you still could not hide The game you were determined to play I surrendered my soul when you said, "You control My body, my heart, my mind" Tell me, how many ways have you delivered that line? Climbing up the ladder of lovers Darlin', you don't dream about me This simple design may save you some time Then where will you be? Climbing up the ladder of lovers Baby, don't pretend that you care That new boy you found may take you uptown or maybe nowhere You set me up, you knock me down You could've had yourself a love on fire Now nothing's left, just look around It’s getting colder as you go higher Climbing up the ladder of lovers Baby, don’t pretend that you care That new boy you found may take you uptown or maybe nowhere Climbing up the ladder of lovers Darlin', you don’t dream about me This simple design may save you some time Then where will you be? Climbing up the ladder of lovers Baby, don't pretend that you care That new boy you found may take you uptown or maybe nowhere Climbing up the ladder of lovers
