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 lived 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
soon became the envy of the town
with all our work behind us we'd finally settle down
now we live yes we live in a two story house
so much wonder 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 and takes
there's marble on the floor
beauty all around us like we've never seen before
there's chandeliers in every room
and courted silks and satins all around
we filled the house with everything
but somehow left love out
now we live yes we live in a two story house
so much splendor but there's no love about
i've got my story and i got my tune
i said it is we now live in a two story house
how sad it is we now live in a two story house
