The edge of glory
Petie Pizarro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
I've got no reason that you should take me home tonight

I need a girl who thinks it right when it's so wrong,
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight
It's time to feel the rush,
To push the dangerous
I'm gonna run back to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall hard in love

I'm on The Edge of Glory,
and I'm hanging on a moment of truth,
Out on The Edge of Glory,
and I'm hanging on a moment with you,
I'm on the edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
I'm on The Edge of Glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you Another shot, before we kiss the other side,
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight
Alright, alright
Put on your shades 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
It doesn't hurt if everybody knows my name tonight
Alright, alright

It's time to feel the rush
To push the dangerous
I'm gonna run back to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love

I'm on The Edge of Glory,
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth,
I'm on The Edge of Glory,
And I'm hanging on a moment with you,
I'm on the edge

Am I the only one who thinks he deserves more than 500, 000 views?

@aidanmorris2231

good pipes but he's just so tacky. he just screams musical theatre not rock star.

@octaviodigianni905

he's pure autotune*

@jackbagdadi6117

@@octaviodigianni905 this is really old but I actually knew and performed at some of the same couple of venues as Petie in high school in the early 2000s. He doesn’t need any auto tune. He actually just sings this well.

@jakexgold3879

This song needs a deeper voice male artist to sing it, he sounds too much alike Gaga’s
