Ambition lyrics

Song information

Artist: Iggy Pop
Album: Soldier

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 you'll be there
You'll promise you'll swear

But all I ever find
Been spun that same old run
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
