I've been around the world
Had my pick of any girl
I should be happy but I'm not I should be happy but i'm
Everybody knows my name
But it's just a crazy game
Oh, it's lonely at the top

Listen to the band they're playin' just for me
Look at all the people payin' just for
All the applause and all the praise
All the money I have made
Oh, it's lonely at the top

So take a tip from those who know
Livin' high can bring you low
You should be happy but you're not
Listen all you fools out there
Go on and love me, I don't care
Oh, it's lonely at the top
