Lonely   Lonely   Lonely   Lonely   God know's you're ambitious, see you push so hard   You want to get to the top of the heap from sunset boulevard   Oh, it leads small-town girls astray   Oh, it leads small-town girls astray   'cause it's lonely, lonely at the top   Baby, it's hot!   It's lonely, lonely at the top   Baby, it's hot!   They're going to tear your soul away      Theater is deserted and the boards are bare   You're next up for the reading and you're feeling scared   Oh, but you really want the part so bad   Yeah, go on, show them how a star should act      Yeah, it's lonely, lonely at the top   Baby, it's hot   Yeah, it's lonely, lonely at the top   Baby, it's hot   They're going to tear your soul away      You could be a doctor, you could be a nurse   There's no time to rehearse   You work as a waitress, you clean up the bar   But soon you'll be noticed, you'll be a star      You get your nomination, your heart's beating fast   Yes, and the winner is you! you won the prize at last   Oh, it leads small-town girls astray   Oh, it leads small-town girls astray      'cause it's lonely, lonely at the top   Yeah, baby, it's hot!   They're going to strip your soul away   It's lonely, lonely   It's lonely   You get hungry, you get thirsty   You know you get thirsty...
