Intro

Verse

  Lonely - lonely - lonely - lonely

  God knows 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

Chorus

  '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

Verse

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

Chorus

Yeah, 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

Instrumental

Break

  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!

Verse

You get your nomination, you're 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

Chorus

'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.... FADE OUT
