Ambitious

by Jeff Beck



Here is a rich boy, a bit of a brat,

To him life's just a fling.

Phi Beta Kappa and first in his class,

He's treated just like a king.

And he says, "I'm not sure what it is I must have

so I guess I'll just take everything".



He's just ambitious,

He's not a bad man,

He's just ambitious.

He's not a bad man,

Just ambitious.

Whooah, yeah!

Just ambitious.



Here is a young girl, born down and out,

Locked up in jail when she was ten.

Now in the courtroom, she's got a bit of doubt,

Sits on the judge side of the bench.



She's just ambitious,

She's not a bad girl,

She's just ambitious.

She's not a bad girl,

Just ambitious.

Whooah, yeah!

Just ambitious.



Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight,

And his cool streak gets him by.

All these four-letter words in his mind,

Here is a man who'll survive.



He's just ambitious,

He's just a wild man,

He's just ambitious.

He's just a wild man,

Just ambitious.

Whooah, yeah!

Just ambitious.



Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight,

Just ambitious.

Always a four-letter word in his mind,

Just ambitious.



Don't you know, I'm just ambitious,

I'm not a bad man, just ambitious.

I'm not a bad man, just ambitious.

Whooah, yeah!

Just ambitious.

I'm not a bad man, just ambitious.

I'm not a bad man, just ambitious.

I'm not a bad man, just ambitious.
