Tell Franie I'm sorry she didn't get to know her dad. I'll bet he's sorry he didn't get to know you too. Tell her there'll be people singing things that make her sad. How her daddy felt alone how he was hurtin' bad. I guess that won't be too far from the truth. Yeah it's lonely at the top. Happy is one thing it's not.. I was jaded suffocated it got too hard to breath. But I never got as high as I needed to be. You know life becomes worthless when they steal your dreams. I just couldn't live with what was left for me. And I couldn't run far enough from the truth what's the use. Yeah it's lonely at the top. Happy's one thing it's not. Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down. No one there can help you stop before you hit the ground. It's lonely at the top - Oooh yeah. Tell Franie I'm sorry I better kiss her when she cries. I'm sorry I left her never said good bye. Didn't mean to leave you all alone but then the music died. Through the song remains the same I couldn't live that lie. You know that ain't too far from the truth. Yeah it's lonely at the top. Happy's one thing it's not. Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down. No one there to help you stop before you hit the ground. Yeah it's lonely at the top. Yeah it's lonely at the top. It's lonely.
