Nothing Succeeds Like Success

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm headin' upstream And chasin' after my dream You wanna come, you say But in my canoe It's much harder with two And I can't paddle that way [Verse 2] Oh, you say let's marry And promise you'll carry Your share of the load Girl, can't you take it? Until I make it Life is a real bumpy road [Chorus] Nothing succeeds like success, and I guess I wanna be just like all of the rest Like all the rich men who have been blessed Nothing succeeds like success [Verse 3] I'll sympathize With all the tears in your eyes But, baby, I can't stay I've got a date with success And unless I make it, it won't pay [Verse 4] And when I get up To the top Of the ladder, baby, I'll look down I'll reach out my hand to you I'll try to pull you through I hope you'll still be around [Chorus] Nothing succeeds like success, and I guess I wanna be just like all of the rest Like all the rich men who have been blessed Nothing succeeds like success [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] And when I get up To the top Of the ladder, baby, I'll look down I'll reach out my hand to you I'll try to pull you through I hope you'll still be around [Chorus] Nothing succeeds like success, and I guess I wanna be just like all of the rest Like all the rich men who have been blessed Nothing succeeds like success [Chorus] Nothing succeeds like success, and I guess I wanna be just like all of the rest Like all the rich men who have been blessed Nothing succeeds like success [Outro] Nothing succeeds like success, and I guess I wanna be just like all of the rest
