temptations - cloud nine lyrics

dennis: the childhood part of my life
wasn’t very pretty, see…
temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
dennis: i was born and raised
in the slums of the city,
temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
dennis: it was a one-room shack
that slept ten other children beside me,
temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
dennis: we hardly enough food
or room to sleep
temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
dennis: it was hard times…
i needed somethin’ to ease my troubled mind

paul: oooh listen…
my father didn’t know the meaning of work
temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
paul: he disrespected mama,
and treated us like dirt
temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
paul: i left home seeking a job
that i never did find
temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom
paul: depressed and down-hearted
and i took to cloud nine
temptations: boom, boom-boom, boom

paul: i’m doing fine
up here, on cloud nine
paul: listen, one more time
paul: i’m doing fine
up here, on cloud nine
dennis: folks down there tell me…

dennis: they say give yourself a chance, son,
don’t let life p-ss you by,
temptations: woo, woo, woo-oo
dennis: but the world, around you’s, is a rat race
where only the strongest survive,
it’s a dog-eat-dog world
and that ain’t no lie,
temptations: ain’t no lie
dennis: listen it ain’t even safe no more
to walk the streets at night

eddie: i’m doing fine
temptations: on cloud nine

dennis: let me tell you ’bout cloud nine…
temptations: cloud nine
paul: you can be what you want to be
temptations: cloud nine
dennis: you ain’t got no responsibility
temptations: cloud nine
eddie: and every man, every man is free
temptations: cloud nine
dennis: you’re a million miles from reality
otis: reality

temptations: i wanna’ stay up
eddie and otis: higher
temptations: up up, up and away

temptations: cloud nine

eddie: i wanna’ say i love the life i live,
and i’m going to
eddie/otis: live, the life i love
eddie: or be on cloud nine…
i, i, i, i, i, i’m ridin’ high
temptations: on cloud nine

dennis: you’re as free as a bird in flight
temptations: cloud nine
melvin: there’s no difference between day and night
temptations: cloud nine
eddie: it’s a world of love and harmony
temptations: cloud nine
dennis: you’re a million miles from reality
otis: reality

temptations: i wanna’ stay up
eddie and otis: higher
temptations: up up, up and away

temptations: cloud nine
paul: you can be what you want to be, ah
temptations: cloud nine
dennis: you ain’t got no responsibility
temptations: cloud nine
eddie: every man in his mind is free
temptations: cloud nine
dennis: you’re a million miles from reality
temptations: cloud nine
paul: you can be what you want to be

temptations: all of them weave in and out with ad libs
and choruses of “boom-booms”

fade to end
