Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been around the world
Had my pick of any girl
You'd think I'd be happy
But I'm not
[Verse 2]
Everybody knows my name
But it's just a crazy game
Oh, it's lonely at the top
[Verse 3]
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 that I have made
Oh, it's lonely at the top
[Verse 4]
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
