Iggy Pop Ambition Lyrics

Ambition Lyrics

I'm the kind of girl 
I want that whole wide world 
Nothing more nothing less 
I don't want second best 
 
Ah but my associates 
Why they're no more than opiates 
Always dragging me down 
Dash my hopes to the ground 
 
But they must be kidding 
Or wishful thinking 
Adding fuel to the fire 
Of my ambition 
 
I'll make a date 
Oh no I won't be late 
And why of course he'll be there 
He'll promise he'll sweur 
 
But all I ever find 
Been spun that same old line 
It's happened time and time again before 
But these things and more 
Widen the score 
 
And it's one up for ambition 
I really have a go 
You know you've got to hand it to me 
I've got a heart of gold 
But I'm a wolf in mutton's clothes 
 
Someday my time will come 
I'll feel I can't go on 
I may not care or even know it's there 
But then I'll have my fun 
 
So 'till then just press on 
Don't lose your grip 
Don't lose ambition
