Standing On The Top |
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, top |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
Standing on the top, top |
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh |
When you’re 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 |
(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 |
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) |
Can you understand it Can you understand it what I’m talkin' about |
When I say that funk is here to stay |
Can you understand it what I’m talkin' about |
That funk is here to stay, oh If you understand it say, «Yeah» |
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 |
We want the funk and nothing else [We want the funk |
