Текст песни Cloud Nine

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

Dennis: Oooh listen...
My father didn't know the meaning of work
Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom
Dennis: He disrespected mama,
And treated us like dirt
Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom
Dennis: I left home seeking a job
That I never did find
Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom
Dennis: 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
Dennis: 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 pass you by,
Temptations: Woo, woo, woo
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: It ain't even safe no more
To walk the streets at night

Temptations: I'm doing fine
On cloud nine

Dennis: Let me tell 'bout cloud nine...
