If you love somebody
Better tell them while they're here 'cause
They just may run away from you
You'll never know quite when well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
I've had the highest mountains
I've had the deepest river
You can have it all but life keeps movin'
Now take it in but don't look down!
I'm on top of the world ay!
I'm on top of the world ay!
Waitin' on this for a while now
Payin' my dues to the dirt
I've been waitin' to smile ay!
Been holdin' it in for a while ay!
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world!
I've tried to cut these corners
Tried to take the easy way out
I kept on fallin' short of somethin'
I could have gave up then but
Then again I couldn't have 'cause
I've traveled all this way for somethin'
I take it in but don't look down!
I'm on top of the world ay!
I'm on top of the world ay!
Waitin' on this for a while now
Payin' my dues to the dirt
I've been waitin' to smile ay!
Been holdin' it in for a while ay!
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world!
Oh...woah...oh oh, oh
(I'm on top of the world)
Oh...woah...oh oh
I'm on top of the world ay!
I'm on top of the world ay!
Waitin' on this for a while now
Payin' my dues to the dirt
I've been waitin to smile ay!
Been holdin' it in for a while ay!
Take you with me if I can
I'm on top of the world!
And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
get up now, get up, get up now
(I'm on top of the world)
And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now
I'm on top of the world ay!
I'm on top of the world ay!
Waitin' on this for a while now
Payin' my dues to the dirt
I've been waitin' to smile ay!
Been holdin' it in for a while ay!
Take you with me if I can
Been dreamin' of this since a child
I'M ON TOP OF THE WORLD!
