Top Of The World
Van Halen · Best Of Both Worlds [2004]
I know that you believe in me,
That's all I ever need, uh huh.
No, no, nothing's gonna stop me,
Nothing will be scaring me, oh no
Hey baby, it's the only way out
Oh, little darling,
C'mon what's it all about?
Standing on top of the world
For a little while.
Standing on top of the world
Gonna give it all we got.
Oh, I know it won't hurt,
I gotta have a little taste
I just wanna sink my teeth in that
Fine piece of real estate, yeah
Hey baby, make it nice and sweet,
Oh, little darling
Let's take a walk down easy street
Standing on top of the world,
For a little while.
Standing on top of the world
Let's give it all we got, ooh ooh
Baby, gotta feeling, ooh ooh,
Oh, I wanna touch it, now, ooh ooh ooh,
See the whole wide world turn upside down.
Hey, baby, whew!
Someday, we'll be
Standing on top of the world
For a little while
Standing on top of the world
Till we got stung.
Standing on top of the world
For a little while.
Standing on top of the world
Gonna give it all we got.
(standing on top) hey, baby.
(standing on top) hey darling
Standing on top
Standing on top
Standing on top
Top Of The World
Van Halen's "Top Of The World" stands as a defining track from their 2004 compilation, "Best Of Both Worlds," capturing the band's signature blend of rock energy and technical virtuosity. Featuring Eddie Van Halen's iconic guitar work, the song exemplifies the group's ability to deliver high-octane performances that have become staples of their discography. Released during a period where the band revisited their catalog to celebrate their enduring legacy, the recording reflects the polished yet raw sound that characterized their work in the late 1970s and early 1980s. As a staple of their live sets and studio recordings, the track remains a powerful representation of hard rock and new wave influences that helped shape the genre's evolution. It continues to resonate with fans who appreciate the dynamic interplay between Eddie's guitar solos and the band's driving rhythms.
