Climbing stairs, climbing stairs all my life
I don't mind, yet I want to survive
So I'll hide in the shell of my health
'Cause I've been through the hell of my wealth
Will I take it as a part of myself
When it's there

Do you care, really care if I say
What it takes, to convince me to stay
Guess I'm knowing it's all worthwile
But the habit's beyond the smile

When you get to the top
Who's the first one to drop
By that time I just might have gone crazy

Now we've all had our bit
Who's the first one to quit
Do you care

All my feelings are left far behind
But your bussiness will not make me blind

When you get to the top
Who's the first one to drop
By that time I just might have gone crazy

Now we've all had our bit
Who's the first one to quit

Do you care, really care if I say
What it takes, to convince me to stay
Guess I'm knowing it's all worthwile
But the habit's beyond the smile
