the temptations - cloud nine lyrics

a-who, who, awho, who…

[dennis:]
the childhood part of my life wasn’t very pretty
you 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
we hardly had enough food or room to sleep
it was hard times
needed something to ease my troubled mind

[paul]
my father didn’t know the meaning of the word
he disrespected mama and treated us like dirt
i left home seeking a job that i never did find
depressed and down-hearted, i took to cloud 9

i’m doing (fine)
up here (on cloud nine)
listen, one more time
i’m doing (fine)
up here (on cloud nine)

[dennis]
folks now they tell me
they say, “give yourself a chance and don’t let life p-ss you by”
but the world around you is a rat race where only the strong survive
it’s a dog-eat-dog world and that ain’t no lie
listen, it ain’t even safe no more, to walk the streets at night

[eddie]
i’m doing fine on cloud 9

[dennis]
let me tell you about cloud 9

(cloud 9)
[paul] you can be what you wanna be
(cloud 9)
[dennis] you ain’t got no responsibility
(cloud 9)
[eddie] every man, every man is free
(cloud 9)
[dennis] you’re a million miles from reality

(reality) i’m gonna sail (up, up) higher (up, up… up, up and away) cloud 9

[eddie:]
i wanna say i love the life i live
and i’m gonna live the life i love
up here on cloud 9
uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, i’m riding high on cloud 9

[dennis] you’re as free as a bird in flight
(cloud 9) [melvin:] there’s no difference between day and night
(cloud 9) [eddie:] it’s a world of love and harmony
(cloud 9) [dennis:] you’re a million miles from reality

(reality) i’m gonna sail (up, up) higher (up, up… up, up and away) cloud 9

[paul] you can be what you wanna be
(cloud 9) [dennis] you ain’t got no responsibility
(cloud 9) [eddie] every man in his mind is free
(cloud 9) [dennis] you’re a million miles from reality
(cloud 9) [paul] you can be what you wanna be

boom-boom-boom-boom-boom…

[eddie]
i’m feeling fine on cloud 9
