The Temptations - Cloud Nine (Live 1973) текст песни

- Everybody do what we're doin'
Come on put your hands like this

Childhood part of my life, it wasn't very pretty, see
I was born and raised in the slums of the city
It was a one room shack that slept ten other children beside me
I hardly had the food or room to sleep
It was a hard time and I needed something to case my troubled mind
Listen, my father didn't know the meaning of work
He disrespected Mama and treated us like dirt
Left home seekin' a job that I never did find
Depressed and down hearted I took to cloud nine

I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine
One more time
I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine

Folks down there tell me, they say
"Give yourself a chance son, don't let life pass you by
But the world of reality is a rat race
Where only the strongest survive
It's a dog eat dog world and that ain't no lie
It ain't even safe no more to walk down the streets at night
I'm doin' fine, on Cloud Nine

You can be what you wanna be
You ain't got no responsibility
And every men on his mind is free
And you're a million miles from reality

Boom boom boom
