I've been around the world
Had my pick of any girl
So you'd think I'd be happy
But I'm not
Everybody knows my name
But it's just a crazy game
Oh, it's lonely at the top
Listen to the band playing just for me
Listen to the people paying just for me
Oh, all the applause and all the parades
And all the money that I made
Oh, it's lonely at the top
Listen, all you fools out there
Go on and love me
I don't care
It's lonely, oh, it's lonely
Ah einsam
It's lonely at the top
