Out of the corner   Of my tired eyes, I?m not surprised   It?s now a quarter past too late   Nothing new, it?s no case out of the ordinary      I?m so very wrapped   Around your finger this time   Oh, won?t you give me a while   To unwind?      You?re on top of the world   And I?m just waiting, making up your excuse   You say that love?s tough, are you sure?   Ain?t it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?      You're on top of the world, if you're thinking   I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules   Don't that make you the fool?   Oh yeah, you're on top of the world      You're sitting on top of the world   On top of the world      You?re like a splinter   You?re just killing me slowly from inside   The piercing winter is so much   More inviting than the stare in your eyes      One heavy cinder block, like a love rock   You?re just staying, weighing, breaking me down   I?m crying out, you don?t hear me   You don?t hear a sound      You?re on top of the world   And I?m just waiting, making up your excuse   You say that love?s tough, are you sure?   Ain?t it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?      You're on top of the world, if you're thinking   I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules   Don't that make you the fool?   You're on top of the world      Hope I?ve lost enough to win you back your prize   To put you up sky high   You get your pride back to its familiar place      You're on top of the world      But I hope it?s cost enough of my dear, precious time   To lift your spirits, spark your smile      On top of the world   And I?m just waiting, making up your excuse   Well, love?s tough, are you sure?   Ain?t it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?      On top of the world, if you're thinking   I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules   Don't that make you the fool?      On top of the world   And I?m just waiting, making up your excuse   You say that love?s tough, are you sure?   Ain?t it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?   Yeah, yeah, yeah      On top of the world, if you're thinking   I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules   Don't that make you the fool?      Oh baby, don't that make you the fool?   You?re on top of the world   On top of the world   You?re sitting on top of the world   On top of the world      You?re on top of the world   On top of the world   You?re on top of the world
