John Waite - Going to the Top lyrics

rate me

Saw you standing in the darkness

With your back against the wall

And your eyes looked kind of distant

Then I knew you'd seen it all

It was then that you betrayed me

Cause I could see right through your gaze

I guess you and I have seen much better days

You used to be so taken

With the lifestyle of the king

Now you find love's everything

You're going to the top

You found somebody special

Now your heart will never stop

And you know I wish you well

You could've been somebody a contender

I guess that chance just passed you by

Now you can't remember who to trust

But I sure wish that you'd try

And nothing gets you nothing

And you get back what you give

You can't hold out much longer

It's time for you to live

You used to be so taken

With the lifestyle of the king

Now you find love's everything

You're going to the top

You found somebody special

Now your heart will never stop

And you know I wish you well yeah

You're going to the top

You're falling up to heaven

And now your heart will never stop

And you know I wish you well yeah

Good things are gonna find you

Though somebody's got to pay

You could always turn your back and walk

But I sure wish that you'd stay

You're going to the top

You found somebody special

Now your heart will never stop

And you know I wish you well these days

You're going to the top

You're falling up to heaven

And your heart ain't gonna stop

And you know I wish you well these days

You're going to the top

You found somebody special

And your heart will never stop

And you know I wish you well these days

You're going to the top

And now you're someone special

And I still think of you a lot

And you know I wish you well

Yeah
