On Top Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me what your heart wanna say when you love when you're over me
I just wanna take in your love then you say you're over me
Know I wanna make new love then you say you want all of me
Listen to me
You should love me

[Chorus]
You wanna stay on top, girl
You wanna stay on top
The top spot was you, girl
I know you wanna talk
You don't wanna be over me
You wanna be all over me
I claimed you so openly
I claimed you so openly, yeah

[Verse 2]
And the scars don't hurt no more, mm
You wonder if I'm ready for another
When I saw you catching more fun, yeah
And the introduction not for me

[Chorus]
You wanna stay on top, girl
You wanna stay on top
The top spot was you, girl
I know you wanna talk
You don't wanna be over me
You wanna be all over me
I claimed you so openly
I claimed you so openly, yeah
[Open Verse]

[Chorus]
You wanna stay on top, girl
You wanna stay on top
The top spot was you, girl
I know you wanna talk
You don't wanna be over me
You wanna be all over me
I claimed you so openly
I claimed you so openly, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
