Snakes & Ladders Lyrics by Ben Pearce

2021

[Verse 1]
When I was a little boy
I was a little boy
Looking for answers
So I went into the world
Tempted by other things that I couldn't have, so
[Pre-Chorus]
So I had to work for you
So I had to work for you
So I had to work for you
Yeah, I had to work for you
Yeah, I had to work for you
So I had to work for you
[Chorus]
Yeah, I waited my whole life, ooh
Just to be loved by you
Yeah, that's all these snakes and ladders do
It's made me feel like I've been turning blue
Yeah, that's all these snakes and ladders do
[Post-Chorus]
Blue, like I'm turning
Blue, like I'm turning
Blue, like I'm turning
That's all these snakes and laddеrs do
Blue, like I'm turning
Feels like I'm turning bluе
Yeah, that's all these snakes and ladders do
[Verse 2]
I was gonna win
Yeah, I thought about cashing in
But I was so high that I couldn't see a damn thing
Until you came along
And all of the snakes were gone
And it didn't matter wherever the ladders were headed
I just wanted
[Pre-Chorus]
So I had to work for you
So I had to work for you
So I had to work for you
Yeah, I had to work for you
Yeah, I had to work for you
So I had to work for you
[Chorus]
Yeah, I waited my whole life, ooh
Just to be loved by you
Yeah, that's all these snakes and ladders do
It's made me feel like I've been turning blue
Yeah, that's all these snakes and ladders do
[Post-Chorus]
Blue, like I'm turning
Blue, like I'm turning
Blue, like I'm turning
That's all these snakes and ladders do
Blue, like I'm turning
Feels like I'm turning blue
Yeah, that's all these snakes and ladders do
[Bridge]
I've been waiting my whole life
Just to be loved by you
Oh-oh
Yeah, I waited my whole life
Just to be loved by you
That's all these snakes and ladders do
[Chorus]
Yeah, I waited my whole life, ooh
Just to be loved by you
Yeah, that's all these snakes and ladders do
It's made me feel like I've been turning blue
Yeah, that's all these snakes and ladders do
[Post-Chorus]
Blue, like I'm turning
Blue, like I'm turning
Blue, like I'm turning
That's all these snakes and ladders do
Blue, like I'm turning
Feels like I'm turning blue
Yeah, that's all these snakes and ladders do
