Songwriter: Suzi Quatro
Producer: Andy Scott Steve Grant
I was hanging round in a dead end town where dreams die
And the only sound was the echo of goodbye in my mind
I saw my choices beckon, like gold dust it the sky
So I packed up my life, left my heart behind
Was a heavy ride with a suitcase full of memories
Got a picture of you and a vision of new horizons to fly
I thought I had the answers to this emptiness inside
But I guess fame wast just another place to hide
Ambition, it's a funny old game
Ambition, it drives a girl insane
But money talks and failure walks alone
Ambition, walk her into the fire
Ambition, she needs a shot of desire
So some poor fools like me and you can follow into the light
It's a heavy road when you think you're going nowhere
And the future holds all the same mistakes you tried to ignore
My mamma tried to warn me but I said I did not care
I wast fifteen pushing thirly, heading out that door
Ambition, it's a funny old game
Ambition, it drives a girl insane
But money talks and failure walks alone
Ambition, walk her into the fire
Ambition, she needs a shot of desire
So some poor fools like me and you can follow into the light
She was born to dance in the spotlight
'Cause the feelin' inside is so right, tonight, so right, hey, hey
I thought I had the answers to this emptiness inside
But I guess fame wast just another place to hide, another place to hide
Ambition, it's a funny old game
Ambition, it drives a girl insane
But money talks and failure walks alone
Ambition, walk her into the fire
Ambition, she needs a shot of desire
So some poor fools like me and you can follow into the light
And the only sound was the echo of goodbye in my mind
I saw my choices beckon, like gold dust it the sky
So I packed up my life, left my heart behind
Was a heavy ride with a suitcase full of memories
Got a picture of you and a vision of new horizons to fly
I thought I had the answers to this emptiness inside
But I guess fame wast just another place to hide
Ambition, it's a funny old game
Ambition, it drives a girl insane
But money talks and failure walks alone
Ambition, walk her into the fire
Ambition, she needs a shot of desire
So some poor fools like me and you can follow into the light
It's a heavy road when you think you're going nowhere
And the future holds all the same mistakes you tried to ignore
My mamma tried to warn me but I said I did not care
I wast fifteen pushing thirly, heading out that door
Ambition, it's a funny old game
Ambition, it drives a girl insane
But money talks and failure walks alone
Ambition, walk her into the fire
Ambition, she needs a shot of desire
