[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
You're sitting on top of the world

[Verse 2]
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 rock
You're just staying, weighing, breaking me down
I'm crying out, you don't hear a sound, whoa
[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
You're on top of the world

[Bridge]
Hope I've lost enough to win you back your prize
To put you up sky high, and 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, oh yeah

[Chorus]
You're on top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse, and
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, oh, no, now, now, now

[Chorus]
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, oh, oh, oh don't that make you the fool?
You're on top of the world

[Outro]
You're sitting on top of the world, oh, oh, oh, oh
You're on top of the world, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're on top of the world, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea
