madonna - how high lyrics

how high are the stakes
how much fortune can you make
[repeat]

it's funny
i spent my whole life wanting to be talked about
i did it
just about everything
to see my name in lights

was it all worth it
and how did i earn it
nobody's perfect
i guess i deserve it

[chorus]
how high are the stakes
how much fortune can you make
does this get any better
should i carry on
will it matter when i'm gone
will any of this matter

it's funny
how everybody mentions my name
but they're never really nice
i took it
just about everything
except my own advice

was it all worth it
and how did i earn it
nobody's perfect
i guess i deserve it

[chorus]

(nothing lasts forever)
(doesn't make a difference)

how high
doesn't make a difference
nothing lasts forever
should i
will it matter when i'm gone
will any of this matter

how high are the stakes
how much fortune can you make
should i carry on
will it matter when i'm gone

[chorus x2]
