Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you believe in me
That's all I ever need. Uh-huh
No no, nothin's gonna stop it
Nothin' will discourage me. Oh, no
Hey baby, uh-it's the only way out
What's it all about?
Standin' on top of the world
For a little while
Standin' on top of the world
Gonna give it all we got
Oh, I know you wanna touch
I got to have a little taste
I just wanna sink my teeth in that
Fine piece o' real estate. Yeah
Hey baby, woo! Make it nice 'n sweet. Ooh!
Oh, little darlin'
Let's take a walk down Easy Street
Standin' on top of the world
For a little while
Standin' on top of the world
Let's give it all we got
(Ooo-ooo-ooo) Baby, got a feelin'
(Ooo-ooo) Oh, I wanna touch it now
(Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo) See the whole wide world turn upside-down
(Guitar Solo)
Hey baby, woo!
Someday, we'll be standin' on top of the world
For a little while
Standin' on top of the world
'Til we got stung
Standin' on top of the world
For a little while
Standin' on top of the world
Gonna give it all we got
(Standin' on top) Hey baby
(Standin' on top) Hey darlin'. Woo!
Standin' on top
Standin' on top
Standin' on top
The song "Top of the World" by Sammy Hagar and The Wabo's is an upbeat, rock and roll ballad that focuses on confidence, ambition, and taking risks. The lyrics express the idea that the singer has the support of a loved one, and nothing can discourage him from achieving his goals. The opening lines acknowledge the trust that the singer’s partner has in him, and how it is all he needs to keep going. He then goes on to say that temptation surrounds him, and he wants to indulge in the best parts of life. The song is all about living in the moment, and not letting anything hold you back from reaching your peak.
The chorus describes the feeling of being on top of the world, and the thrill that comes with it. The singer is determined to give everything he has, and not hold back. He wants to savor the moment, and take it as far as it will go. The bridge section presents a guitar solo that underscores the optimistic feeling of the lyrics.
