It's a Long Long Way To The Top Of The World lyrics

It's a long long way to the top of the world But it's only a short fall back down A young fool filled with grief I let ambition rule me Like a hunger that gnawed at my soul I worked hard made my fortune but lost the heart of my darling She got lonely and her love soon grew cold It's a long long way to the top of the world On a rough road that winds round and round It's a long long way to the top of the world But it's only a short fall back down Now I'm a big man with money but at love I'm a pauper Though what I once held now another man claims I've reached the top of the world but my heart hit rock bottom I can't make love to fortune and fame
