Lonely At The Bottom Lyrics - Singles - Kathy Mattea

We were buddies once upon a time 

And then you took off on your social climb 

But fortune only brought you misery 

And now you're cryin' out for sympathy 

Well, it's lonely at the top 

Yeah, it's lonely at the top 

Well, if this workin' girl were you 

She'd just enjoy the view 

'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too 

Lonely at the bottom too 

You're livin' high on easy street 

And we're just tryin' to make ends meet 

If you get tired of the grind 

We'll I'll take your place and honey you take mine 

Cause, it's lonely at the top 

Yeah, it's lonely at the top 

Well, if this workin' girl were you 

She'd just enjoy the view 

'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too 

Lonely at the bottom too 

Like a kitten in the neighbor's tree 

Climbin' up to see what you could see 

Now you're cryin', 'cause you need some help 

Well, everybody's got to help themselves 

Well, it's lonely at the top 

It's lonely at the top 

Well, if this workin' girl were you 

She'd just enjoy the view 

'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too 

Lonely at the bottom too 

Oh honey I feel so sorry for you 

All the way up there, all by yourself 

Well, if this workin' girl were you 

She'd just enjoy the view 

'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too 

Lonely at the bottom too
