Temptations - Standing On The Top lyrics
rate meFeaturing Rick James<br />
<br />
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi<br />
<br />
When you're on the top<br />
There's no place you can really go but down, down, down<br />
People on the street congratulate you<br />
They say they love the way you sound, well<br />
<br />
When you're on the low<br />
No one wants to chit or chat or even know your name<br />
Your agent's never there<br />
Your manager has ripped you off and gone somewhere<br />
Standing on the top<br />
<br />
Standing on the top, top<br />
On the top getting down, yeah<br />
Standing on the top (Yeah), top<br />
On the top getting down, Temptations sing<br />
<br />
Standing on the top, top<br />
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh<br />
Standing on the top, top<br />
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh<br />
<br />
When you're on the top<br />
Everyone you meet they wanna be your long lost friend<br />
They say how great you are, a superstar<br />
But do you have any money to lend<br />
(Hey, man, can you loan me a few bucks)<br />
<br />
When you're on the low<br />
Where do all the freaks and fancy people go, [I don't know] I don't know<br />
People sit and stare<br />
Askin' crazy questions, "Do you braid your hair" and "What's L-7 Square"<br />
<br />
Standing on the top, top<br />
On the top getting down, ho<br />
<br />
Hey... hoo<br />
<br />
Standing on the top, top<br />
On the top getting down, down, down, down<br />
Standing on the top (Sing)<br />
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Well, well, well, well, well, well)<br />
Standing on the top (Well)<br />
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Standing on the top getting down)<br />
<br />
Can you understand it [We understand it]<br />
Can you understand it what I'm talkin' about<br />
When I say that funk is here to stay [We understand it]<br />
Can you understand it what I'm talkin' about<br />
That funk is here to stay, oh [We understand it]<br />
If you understand it say, "Yeah" {Yeah... yeah... }<br />
<br />
We want the funk<br />
We want the funk and nothing else [We want the funk]<br />
We want the funk and nothing else will do<br />
<br />
We want the funk<br />
We want the funk and nothing else [We want the funk]<br />
We want the funk and nothing else will do<br />
<br />
We want the funk<br />
We want the funk and nothing else [We want the funk]<br />
We want the funk and nothing else will do<br />
<br />
We want the funk<br />
We want the funk and nothing else [We want the funk
