Lyrics:

(Mike DowlingJan Dowling) We were buddies once upon a time And then you took off on your social climb But fortune only brought you misery And now you're cryin' out for sympathy Well, it's lonely at the top Yea, it's lonely at the top Well, if this workin' girl were you She'd just enjoy the view 'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too Lonely at the bottom too You're livin' high on easy street And we're just tryin' to make ends meet If you get tired of the grind We'll I'll take your place and honey you take mine Well, it's lonely at the top Yea, it's lonely at the top Well, if this workin' girl were you She'd just enjoy the view 'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too Lonely at the bottom too Like a kitten in the neighbor's tree Climbin' up to see what you could see Now you're cryin', 'cause you need some help Well, everybody's got to help themselves Well, it's lonely at the top Yea, it's lonely at the top Well, if this workin' girl were you She'd just enjoy the view 'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too Lonely at the bottom too Oh honey I feel so sorry for you All the way up there all by yourself Well, if this workin' girl were you She'd just enjoy the view 'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too Lonely at the bottom too
