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 some how 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
