 x2
  Out of the corner
  Of my  tired eyes, I'm not  surprised
  That 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  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
  You're sitting  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  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  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, 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
 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?
 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?
  Don't that make you the  fool?
  You're on top of the world
  You're sitting  on top of the world
 You're on top of the world
 You're on top of the world
