You're on top of the world.
You're 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.
Hated 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.
It costs lots of money, honey.
Oh, no.
You're on top of the world.
You're 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.
Breakdown nearly every day,
shoulda known you 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.
Then he got religion and she got a god.
It's on her back and it's in his job.
It costs lots of money, honey.
Oh, no.
Tonight, tonight
you're on top of the world.
You're 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.
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
you're 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.
