Lyrics
When You're On Top
when you're on top the whole world's your friend
hanging on as if the party'd never end
but when you tumble down
nothing seems the same
no one even wants to speak your name
that's quite all right my fair weather friend
'cause i don't need you here no more
i'm fine by myself, my heart on the shelf
and i know it's gonna crash down on the floor
but that's a chance i take every single day
when i step foot out my front door
