"Ladder"

Words and Music by Joan Osborne, Rick Chertoff, Eric Bazilian, and Rob Hyman

Today and everyday, today and everyday.
Today and everyday, today and everyday.

I'm standing here in your closet.
Unbuttoning all your clothes.
I'll sleep in your bed tonight,
but I never find you home.
You're giving me crooked answers.
I'm cracking your little code.
I'm learning another language,
so full it's about to explode.

You gave me a ladder now.
I surely believe I'll climb.
It don't even matter now.
I'm willing to take my time.
I'm gonna love you anyway,
today and everyday, today and everyday.
I'm gonna love you anyway,
today and everyday, today and everyday.

I wanted it to be easy.
I know that I make you tired.
Sometime I get slow and lazy.
Sometime I get so inspired.
You wanted a long flirtation.
Your plane doesn't ever land.
Some things I don't want to look at.
I don't want to understand.

You gave me a ladder now.
I surely believe I'll climb.
It don't even matter now.
I'm willing to take my time.
I'm gonna love you anyway,
today and everyday, today and everyday.
I'm gonna love you anyway,
today and everyday, today and everyday.

Today and everyday, today and everyday, today and everyday.
Today and everyday, today and everyday, today and everyday.
