I've been around the world Had my pick of any girl So you'd think I'd be happy But I'm not Everybody knows my name But it's just a crazy game Oh, it's lonely at the top Listen to the band playing just for me Listen to the people paying just for me Oh, all the applause and all the parades And all the money that I made Oh, it's lonely at the top Listen, all you fools out there Go on and love me I don't care It's lonely, oh, it's lonely Ah einsam It's lonely at the top
