I’m on Top Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You never met your match you said
In anyone of the opposite sex
Anyone who shared your bed was a little less
You like to be on top you said
What you got wasn’t what you wanted
Always worried you were getting less
Than what others get

[Chorus]
Look at me now
Eat your heart out
I’m the cherry sitting on the top
So look at you now, looking so small
You'd never know that you had walked so tall
Now you’re quite forgotten
Rotting at the bottom
And I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top

[Verse 2]
You’re always in control you said
You’re operating at a higher level
Than all your lovers did
Well, isn’t that what you said?
You never felt you ever loved
You only felt you were playing a part
And so you loved her less
And got yourself in debt

[Chorus]
Look at me now
Eat your heart out
I’m the cherry sitting on the top
So look at you now, looking so small
You'd never know that you had walked so tall
Now you’re quite forgotten
Rotting at the bottom
And I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top

Look at me now
Eat your heart out
I’m the cherry sitting on the top
So look at you now, looking so small
You'd never know that you had walked so tall
Now you’re quite forgotten
Rotting at the bottom
And I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top

Look at me now
Eat your heart out
I’m the cherry sitting on the top
So look at you now, looking so small
You'd never know that you had walked so tall
Now you’re quite forgotten
Rotting at the bottom
And I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top

[Outro]
I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top
Now you’re quite forgotten
Rotting at the bottom
And I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top

On Top — Tumblr

You never met your match you said,In anyone of the opposite sex Anyone who shared your bed was a little less You like to be on top you said What you got wasn’t what you wanted Always worried you were getting less than what others get Look at me now

The song is a very cocky, snarky song about how Sky meets a guy who can’t meet a girl who can fufill his needs or isn’t brave enough to switch the roles with this guy, and be “on top” instead of him always being on top and doing all the work.
