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 awhile 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 and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules don't that make you the fool Oh you're on top of the world you're on top of the world You're like a splinter just killing me slowly from inside The piercing winter is so much more inviting than the stare in your eyes One heavy cinderblock like a 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 and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules don't that make you the fool Oh you're on top of the world Hope I've lost enough to win you back your prize To put you up sky high get your pride back to its familiar place And I hope it's cost enough of my dear precious time To lift your spirits spark your smile 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 and 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 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 and if you're thinking I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules don't that make you the fool don't that make you the fool You're on top of the world You're on top of the world You're on top of the world You're on top of the world
