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
