We always wanted a big two-story house

Back when we lived in that little two-room shack

We wanted fame and fortune

And we'd live life the way the rich folks do

We knew somehow we'd make it, together, me and you

With dreams and hopes of things to come

We worked and never stopped

Not much time for you and me

We had to reach the top

We bought that big two story house

And soon became the envy of the town

With all our work behind us

We'd finally settled down

Now we live (yes we live) in a two-story house

Whoa, what splendor

But there's no love about

I've got my story

And I've got mine, too

How sad it is, we now live in a two-story house

The house is filled with rare antiques

There's marble on the floor

Beauty all around us

Like we've never seen before

There's chandeliers in every room

Imported silks and satin all about

We filled the house with everything

But somehow left love out

Now we live (yes we live) in a two-story house

Oh what splendor

But there's no love about

I've got my story

And I've got mine, too

How sad it is, we now live, in a two-story house

How sad it is, we now live, in a two-story house
