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? oh oh oh 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 whoaa oh oh oh yeah you're on top of the world you're sitting on the top of the world (on the 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 Chorus 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 oh oh yeah oh Chorus (2x)
