Lyrics Standing on the Top (Live) - The Temptations

When you′re on the top
There's no place you can really go but down, down, down
People on the street congratulate you
They say they love the way you sound, well
When you′re on the low
No one wants to chit or chat or even know your name
Your agent's never there
Your manager has ripped you off and gone somewhere
Standing on the top
Everyone you meet they wanna be your long lost friend
They say how great you are, a superstar
But do you have any money to lend
When you're on the low
Where do all the freaks and fancy people go, I don′t know
People sit and stare
Askin′ crazy questions, "Do you braid your hair" and "What's L-7 Square"
Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, ho
Hey... hoo
Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, down, down, down
Standing on the top (Sing)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Well, well, well, well, well, well)
Standing on the top (Well)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Standing on the top getting down)
We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else We want the funk and nothing else will do
We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else We want the funk and nothing else will do
We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing else We want the funk and nothing else will do
We want the funk
Standing on the top
