| We were buddies once upon a time
|
| And then you took off on your social climb
|
| Fortune only brought you misery
|
| Now you’re cryin' out for sympathy
|
| Well, it’s lonely at the top
|
| You say, it’s lonely at the top
|
| Well, if this workin', man, were you
|
| Just enjoy the view, it’s lonely at the bottom too
|
| Lonely at the bottom too
|
| You’re livin' high on easy street
|
| We’re just tryin' to make ends meet
|
| If you get tired of the grind
|
| I’ll take your place and, buddy, you take mine
|
| 'Cause it’s lonely at the top
|
| You say, it’s lonely at the top
|
| Well, if this workin', man, were you
|
| Just enjoy the view, 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
|
| 'Cause it’s lonely at the top
|
| Oh yeah, it’s lonely at the top
|
| Well, if this workin', man, were you
|
| Just enjoy the view, it’s lonely at the bottom too
|
| Lonely at the bottom too
|
| It’s lonely at the bottom too
|
| Lonely at the bottom too
|
| Lonely at the bottom too
|
| Oh, it’s lonely at the bottom
|
| At the bottom too, oh yeah |
