Lyrics Ashford & Simpson

Ashford & Simpson

Top Of The Stairs

I'm insisting that you listen, try and understand

I was wrong without reason in my demands

Can you ever forgive the way I behaved

Don't worry about it, baby

I know just how this love can be saved

Chorus:

Take me up

To the top of the stairs

We'll get lost

In the darkness waiting there

I'm depending on your wisdom to reconsider

Wounded pride held me captive, but I can deliver

You don't have to talk no more

It goes without saying

Then I'm just gonna lock the door

Pretend it was a game we were playing

Repeat Chorus

I pretend I'm busy as if you didn't know

When I'm out of your arms, there's no place to go

It's a negative reaction; now it's clear to us

But from now on, but from now on

We're gonna stick to the feelings we trust

Take me up

To the top of the stairs

We'll get lost

In the darkness waiting

Repeat Chorus

Let's forget all our cares and climb the stairs

Let's climb the stairs

Take me up

To the top of the stairs

We'll get lost

In the darkness waiting

Repeat Chorus
