Lyrics for Lonely at the Top

I've been around the world Had my pick of any girl You'd think I'd be happy But I'm not Ev'rybody knows my name But it's just a crazy game Oh, it's lonely at the top Listen to the band, they're playing just for me Listen to the people paying just for me All the applause-all the parades And all the money I have made Oh, it's lonely at the top Listen all you fools out there Go on and love me-I don't care Oh, it's lonely at the top Oh, it's lonely at the top

Listen On
