| We were buddies once upon a time
|
| And then you took off on your social climb
|
| But fortune only brought you misery
|
| And now you’re cryin' out for sympathy
|
| Well, it’s lonely at the top
|
| Yea, it’s lonely at the top
|
| Well, if this workin' girl were you
|
| She’d just enjoy the view
|
| 'Cause it’s lonely at the bottom too
|
| Lonely at the bottom too
|
| You’re livin' high on easy street
|
| And we’re just tryin' to make ends meet
|
| If you get tired of the grind
|
| We’ll I’ll take your place and honey you take mine
|
| Well, it’s lonely at the top
|
| Yea, it’s lonely at the top
|
| Well, if this workin' girl were you
|
| She’d just enjoy the view
|
| 'Cause it’s lonely at the bottom too
|
| Lonely at the bottom too
|
| Like a kitten in the neighbor’s tree
|
| Climbin' up to see what you could see
|
| Now you’re cryin', 'cause you need some help
|
| Well, everybody’s got to help themselves
|
| Well, it’s lonely at the top
|
| Yea, it’s lonely at the top
|
| Well, if this workin' girl were you
|
| She’d just enjoy the view
|
| 'Cause it’s lonely at the bottom too
|
| Lonely at the bottom too
|
| Oh honey I feel so sorry for you
|
| All the way up there all by yourself
|
| Well, if this workin' girl were you
|
| She’d just enjoy the view
|
| 'Cause it’s lonely at the bottom too
|
| Lonely at the bottom too |
