Top Of The World
Sean Whiting Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feelin’ the groove
But ain’t feeling no pain
Gonna sing so good
Bout to make it rain

You better stand up
Scream and shout
Gonna knock the words

Right outta your mouth

I’m on top of the world
Ain’t gonna come down
Gonna stay a while
And take a look around

Take a look around

Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
Move your ass
To the beat

Gonna sing these words
Till I make you cry
Want to make you feel
What I’m feeling inside

I’m on top of the world
Ain’t gonna come down
Gonna stay a while
And take a look around

Take a look around

I’m on top of the world
Ain’t gonna come down
Gonna stay a while
And take a look around

Take a look around
