Текст песни Standing On the Top, Pt. 1 - The Temptations

Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya
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
Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, yeah
Standing on the top (yeah), top
On the top getting down, temptations sing
Standing on the top
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Standing on the top
Ooh, ooh, ooh
When you're on the top
Everyone you meet they want to be your long lost friend
They say how great you are, a superstar
But do you have any money to lend
(Hey, man, can you loan me a few bucks)
When you're on the low
Where do all the freaks and fancy people go, I don't know (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, yeah
Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, ho
Hey... hoo
Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, yeah
Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, down, down, down
(We understand it) We understanding what are you talking about! When I say that funk is here to stay
(We understand it) If you understand it say yeah "Yeah-yeah"
(We understand it) When I say that funk is here to stay, funk is here to stay
(We want the funk) We want the funk nothing else to do, nothing else to do no!
(We want the funk) We want the funk, nothing but the punk funk
(We want the funk) Oh, we want the funk and nothing but the funk
(We want the funk) "We want the funk", I understand if we want the funk
(We want the funk, we want the funk and nothing else) "We want the funk"
(We want the funk and nothing else again)
(We want the funk, we want the funk and nothing else) "We want the funk"
(We want the funk and nothing else again)
(We want the funk, we want the funk and nothing else) "We want the funk"
(We want the funk and nothing else again)
