Intro

Chorus

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

Outro

repeat to fade

Can you hear me

Can you show me

You're on top of the world tonight
