Going To The Top Lyrics - John Waite

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 

You used to be so taken 

With the lifestyle of the king 

Now you find love's everything 

You're going to the top 

You found somebody special 

Now your heart will never stop 

And you know I wish you well 

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 

You used to be so taken 

With the lifestyle of the king 

Now you find love's everything 

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 

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 

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 

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
