You say you like to have a good time
You’re no different than the rest
And you know it’s not the first time
That you’ve given it your best

But for some unknown reason
This one went straight to the top
And I can see no reason
Why it’s ever gonna stop

(Straight to the top)
It ain’t never gonna stop
(It ain’t never gonna stop)
Goin’ straight to the top
(It ain’t never gonna stop)
Straight to the top

And it feels like forever
Is right there in my hand
No more playin’ never, never
With those one night stands

Oh, my temperature’s risin’
The thermometer’s gonna pop
And I can see no reason
Why it’s ever gonna stop

(Straight to the top)
It ain’t never gonna stop
(It ain’t never gonna stop)
We’re goin’ straight to the top, baby
(It ain’t never gonna stop)
Oh, straight to the top

Hey, just you and me, baby, oh
There’s room at the top and we’re on our way there
So don’t try to drag us down, because we’re gonna stay there
Just you and me
‘Cause that’s all I ever want it to be, yeah

(Straight to the top)
(Straight to the top)
(Straight to the top)

Oh, there’s never any question
When you know she’s the one
Yeah, and it’s all so plain and simple
Lookin’ back at what you’ve done

Yeah, looking at the future
It sure looks sunny and bright
And it’s such a good, good feelin’
When you’re doin’ something right

(It ain’t never gonna stop)
We’re goin’ straight to the top, baby
(It ain’t never gonna stop)
Oh, straight to the top, baby
(Straight to the top)
Oh, straight to the top

(Straight to the top)
(Straight to the top)
It ain’t never gonna stop
Goin’ straight to the top, yeah

(Straight to the top)
(Straight to the top)
Just you and me, baby
It ain’t never gonna stop
Straight to the top, whoo

(Straight to the top)
(Straight to the top)
Goin’ all the way, baby
(It ain’t never gonna stop)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ow
Yeah, yeah!
