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? - I look like a fool
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 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? - I look like a fool
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
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? - I look like a fool
You break me, make me look like a fool - I am not your fool, no, no
You may be on top of the world, but I’m done playing by your rules
You’re on top of the world
