Pussycat Dolls/The Pussycat Dolls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
High rise, overtime (Pussycat Dolls)
[Chorus]
Gimme them bright lights, long nights
Party till the sun is rising
High rise, overtime
Working 'till the moon is shining
Hot guys, fly girls
Never gonna say it
I feel on top of the world,
I feel on top of the world
Hey
I'm ready for the pressure
The drama and the pleasure
Got my whole life here in front of me
I'm taking over when I hit the streets
Glamor, glitter and gold
Nothing is stopping you, nothing is stopping me
In this frenzy out of control
I must stay in pursue, do what I got to do
[Chorus]
It's like a roller coaster
One step away I'm closer
I can see it there within my reach
Won't let the city get on top of me
Hey you
Glamor, glitter and gold
Nothing is stopping you, nothing is stopping me
In this frenzy out of control
I must stay in pursue, do what I got to do
[Chorus]
I can do it all night long (Nothing can stop me)
They can? place my home (Can't slow me down)
The only thing I know (Is that I won't fall)
And I have it all
[Chorus]
Gimme them bright lights, long nights
Party till the sun is rising
High rise, overtime
Working 'till the moon is shining
Hot guys, fly girls
Never gonna say it
I feel on top of the world
I feel on top of the world
Hey
Bright lights, long nights (Come on Pussycat Dolls)
High rise, overtime
Hot guys, fly girls
Never gonna say it
I feel on top of the world
I feel on top of the world
Hey
