Mick Jagger Lyrics

Album: She's the Boss

Lonely At The Top Lyrics

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...
