Cloud Nine

Cloud Nine - The Temptations (誘惑演唱組)/Eddie Kendricks

Written by：Norman Jesse Whitfield/Barrett Strong

A who who awho who

The childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty

I was born and

Raised in the slums of the city

It was a one room shack

We slept in other children beside me

We hardly had enough food or room to sleep

It was a hard times

Needed something to ease my troubled mind

Ooo listen

My father didn't know the meaning of work

He disrespected mama and treated us like dirt

I left home seekin' 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

One more time

I'm doing fine

Up here on cloud nine

Folks now they tell me

They say give yourself a chance

And don't let life pass 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

Ain't no lie

It ain't even safe no more

To walk the streets at night

I'm doing fine on cloud 9

Let me tell you about cloud 9

Cloud 9

You can be what you wanna be

Cloud 9

You ain't got no responsibility

Cloud 9

Every man every man is free

Cloud 9

You're a million miles from reality

Reality I'm gonna sail up up higher

Up up up up and away cloud 9

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

You're as free as a bird in flight

Cloud 9

There's no diff'rence between day and night

Cloud 9

It's a world of love and harmony

Cloud 9

You're a million miles from reality

Cloud 9

You can be what you wanna be

Cloud

Cloud

Cloud

Cloud

Cloud 9

I been in city

I'm see life on me

I see 9
