(Jagger/Richards)

Lonely

Lonely
Lonely
Lonely

God know's you're ambitious, see you push so hard
You want to get to the top of the heap from Sunset Boulevard
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray

Oh, it leads small-town girls astray

'Cause it's lonely, lonely at the top

Baby, it's hot!
It's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot!

They're going to tear your soul away

Theater is deserted and the boards are bare

You're next up for the reading and you're feeling scared
Oh, but you really want the part so bad
Yeah, go on, show them how a star should act


Yeah, it's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot

Yeah, it's lonely, lonely at the top
Baby, it's hot
They're going to tear your soul away


You could be a doctor, you could be a nurse
There's no time to rehearse

You work as a waitress, you clean up the bar
But soon you'll be noticed, you'll be a star


You get your nomination, your heart's beating fast
Yes, and the winner is you! You won the prize at last
Oh, it leads small-town girls astray

Oh, it leads small-town girls astray

'Cause it's lonely, lonely at the top

Yeah, baby, it's hot!
They're going to strip your soul away
It's lonely, lonely

It's lonely
You get hungry, you get thirsty
You know you get thirsty...
