Cloud Nine

Cloud Nine - The Temptations (誘惑演唱組)

Childhood part of my life it wasn't very pretty

I was born and raised in the slums of the city

It was a one-room shack that slept

Ten other children besides me

We hardly had enough food or room to sleep

It was hard times I needed something

To ease my troubled mind

Listen

My father didn't know the meaning of work

He disrespected momma and treated us like dirt

I left home seeking a job that I never did find

Depressed and downhearted I took to cloud nine

I'm doing fine up here on cloud nine

One more time

I'm doing fine up here 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

Listen it ain't even safe no more

To walk the streets at night

I'm doing fine

On cloud nine

Let me tell you about cloud nine

Cloud nine

You can be what you wanna be

Cloud nine

You ain't got no responsibility

Cloud nine

And every man every man is free

Cloud nine

And you're a million miles from reality

I wanna say I love the life

Love the life

Up here

On cloud nine

I wanna say I love the life I live

And I'm gonna live the life I love

Up here on cloud nine

I I I I I I'm riding high high

Cloud nine

You're as free as a bird in flight

Cloud nine

There's no difference between day and night

Cloud nine

It's a world of love and harmony

Cloud nine

You're a million miles from reality

Cloud nine

You would be what I wanna be

Cloud cloud cloud cloud nine
