[Verse 1]
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I can see everything tonight
I got a room where everyone
Can have a drink and forget those things
That went wrong in their life
[Chorus]
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, I ain't coming down
[Verse 2]
I got someone who loves me tonight
I got over a thousand dollars in the bank and I'm alright
Look deep in the eyes of love, look deep in the eyes of love
And find out what you were looking for
[Chorus]
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down (Yeah)
[Bridge]
I wish I could feel you tonight, little one
You're so far away
I want to reach out and touch your heart
Yeah like they do in those things on TV, I love you
Please love me, I'm not so bad
And I love you so
[Chorus]
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I can see everything tonight
I got a room where everyone
Can have a drink and forget those things
That went wrong in their life
[Chorus]
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, I ain't coming down
[Verse 2]
I got someone who loves me tonight
I got over a thousand dollars in the bank and I'm alright
Look deep in the eyes of love, look deep in the eyes of love
And find out what you were looking for
[Chorus]
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down (Yeah)
[Bridge]
I wish I could feel you tonight, little one
You're so far away
I want to reach out and touch your heart
Yeah like they do in those things on TV, I love you
Please love me, I'm not so bad
And I love you so
[Chorus]
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down
