you're on top of the world you're on top of the world and you can't get any higher on top of the world on top of the world tonight

Verse

It wasn't easy it was hard as hell You didn't get luck in a wishing well You never worked so hard had so much pain wouldn't change for anything

second verse Learned love from a movie screen He was tough she was wild at fifteen Hated school and had no dreams Wasn't going very far

third verse then he got religion and she got a job It's on her back it's in his job And it costs lots of money money oh

intro four times

Chorus

fourth verse Break down nearly every day Should'a know I couldn't get away Got lucky with the girl next door she was lonely and didn't care

fifth verse She was young she was dark she was fair Wrapped herself around you with her stare You'd explode if she touched you there touched you there touched you there

third verse

chorus twice

Can you hear me Can you show me You're on top of the world tonight
