The road to success is just an ol’ cliché
But I’m going to the top
So buddy don’t get in my way
But then again
Will this take me further
Or leave me far behind
Success keeps playin’ with my mind
Oh those pretty boys
They always bring good news
As they stand in line
I’ve nothin’ but to choose
Will I take me one or maybe five or six
Success keeps playin with my mind
Tell me, tell me, won’t somebody tell me, oh tell me
Is this the life to lead
though I’m feeling so fine
Where am I goin to be when I turn thirty - nine
Now tell me, tell me,
Won’t somebody please tell me
Must I keep on climbin and never stop
What happens to that girl
when she reaches the top!
*Now it’s closin time
They’ve all walked out the door
You know the letterin’ on the billboard changes
Guess I ain’t playing here no more. No, no more
Will they remember me or leave me far behind
Success keeps playin with my mind
*Repeat
