Ambition - Iggy Pop

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 swear

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 until then just press on

Don’t lose your grip

Don’t lose ambition
