The road to success is just an ol¡¯ cliché
|
|
But I¡¯m going to the top
|
|
So buddy don¡¯t get in my way
|
|
But then again
|
|
Will this take me further
|
|
Or leave me far behind
|
|
Success keeps playin¡¯ with my mind
|
|
Oh those pretty boys
|
|
They always bring good news
|
|
As they stand in line
|
|
I¡¯ve nothin¡¯ but to choose
|
|
Will I take me one or maybe five or six
|
|
Success keeps playin with my mind
|
|
Tell me, tell me, won¡¯t somebody tell me, oh tell me
|
|
Is this the life to lead
|
|
though I¡¯m feeling so fine
|
|
Where am I goin to be when I turn thirty - nine
|
|
Now tell me, tell me,
|
|
Won¡¯t somebody please tell me
|
|
Must I keep on climbin and never stop
|
|
What happens to that girl
|
|
when she reaches the top!
|
|
*Now it¡¯s closin time
|
|
They¡¯ve all walked out the door
|
|
You know the letterin¡¯ on the billboard changes
|
|
Guess I ain¡¯t playing here no more. No, no more
|
|
Will they remember me or leave me far behind
|
|
Success keeps playin with my mind
|
|
*Repeat
|
