John Waite
Going To The Top
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to be so taken
With the lifestyle of the king
Now you find love's everything
[Chorus]
You're going to the top
You found somebody special
Now your heart will never stop
And you know I wish you well
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You used to be so taken
With the lifestyle of the king
Now you find love's everything
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
