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
