Cloud Nine(Complete version originally performed by The Temptations) - Various Artists (欧美群星)
Childhood part of my life
Wasn't very pretty 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
I needed something
To ease my troubled mind
Ooh listen
My father didn't know the meaning of work
He disrespected mama
And treated us like dirt
I left home seeking a job
That I never did find
Depressed and down-hearted
And I took to cloud nine
I'm doing fine
Up here on cloud nine
Listen 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"
(Woo woo woo-oo)
But the world around you's a rat race
Where only the strongest survive
It's a dog-eat-dog world
And that ain't no lie
(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 want to 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
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
Reality
I wanna' stay up
Higher
Up up up and away
Cloud nine
You can be what you want to be
Cloud nine
You ain't got no responsibility
Cloud nine
Every man in his mind is free
Cloud nine
