You're on top of the world

On top of the world and you can't

Get any higher-you're on top of the world

You're on top of the world tonight

It wasn't easy- it was hard as hell

You didn't get luck in a wishin' well

Never worked so hard- had so much pain

Wouldn't change for anything

Learned love from a movie screen

He was tough, she was wild at fifteen

Quit school and had no dreams

Wasn't going very far

Then he got religion and she got a god

It's on her back and it's in his job

And it costs lots of money, honey- oh, no

Breakdown nearly every day

Shoulda known- couldn't get away

Got lucky with the girl next door

She was lonely and didn't care

She was young, she was dark, she was fair

Wrapped herself around you with her stare

You'd explode if she would touch you there

Touch you there- touch you there

Tonight, tonight-tonight-tonight

You're on top of the world

On top of the world and you can't

Get any higher

You're on top of the world

You're on top of the world tonight

(can you hear me, can you see me) you're on top of the world tonight

(can you hear me, can you see me) you're on top of the world tonight

(can you hear me, can you see me) you're on top of the world tonight

(can you hear me, can you see me) you're on top of the world tonight
