Top Of The World Songtext / Lyric

Out of the corner

Of my tired eyes, I'm not surprised

It's now a quarter past too late,

Nothing new, it's no case out of the ordinary

I'm so very wrapped around your finger this time

Oh, won't you give me awhile to unwind?



You're on top of the world

And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse

You say that love's tough, are you sure?

Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?

You're on top of the world and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules, don't that make you the fool?

you're on top of the world



You're like a splinter

Just killing me slowly from inside

The piercing winter is so much

More inviting than the stare in your eyes

One heavy cinder block, like a rock

You're just staying, weighing, breaking me down

I'm crying out, you don't hear a sound






You're on top of the world

And I'm just waiting,

making up your excuse



You say that love's tough, are you sure?

Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?

You're on top of the world and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules, don't that make you the fool?



Hope I've lost enough to win you back your prize

To put you up sky high, get your pride back to its familiar place

And I hope it's cost enough of my dear, precious time

To lift your spirits, spark your smile



You're on top of the world

And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse

You say that love's tough, are you sure?

Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?

You're on top of the world and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules, don't that make you the fool?



You're on top of the world

And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse

You say that love's tough, are you sure?

Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?

You're on top of the world and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules, don't that make you the fool?

don't that make you the fool?

You're on top of the world

sitting on top of the world

on top of the world

sitting on top of the world
