Standing on the Top [feat. Rick James] (Part 1) Songtext
When you′re on the top
There's no place you can really go
But down, down, down
People on the street
Congratulations, they say they love the way you sound
Well, when you′re on the low
No one wants to chit or chat
Or even know your name
Your agent's never there
Your manager has left you out the door somewhere
Standing on the top
(Standing on the top)
On the top getting down, yeah
(Standing on the top)
Yeah, on the top getting down
Temptations, sing!
(Standing on the top)
(Standing on the top)
When you're on the top
Everyone you meet
They wanna be your long-lost friend
They say how great you are, a superstar
But do you have anybody to lend?
(Hey man, can you loan me two bucks?)
When you′re on the low
Where do all the freaks and spazzin′ people go?
(I don't know) I don′t know
People sit and stare
Askin' crazy questions
Will you braid your hair?
(And what′s your Southern square?)
Standing on the top
On the top getting down, yeah
(Standing on the top)
On the top getting down, woo!
Standing on the top
On the top getting down, yeah
(Standing on the top)
On the top getting down, down, down, down
(We understand it)
If you understand it, what I'm talkin′ about
When I say that funk is here to stay
(We understand it)
If you understand it, say yeah
Yeah, yeah
(We understand it)
When I say that funk is here to stay
Funk is here to stay
(We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do
Nothing else will do, y'all
(We want the funk)
Ooh, we want the funk
Nothing but the funk, funk
(We want the funk)
Ooh, we want the funk
And nothing but the funk
(We want the funk)
All we're sayin′ is we want the funk
(We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do
(We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do
(We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do
(We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do
(We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do
(We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do
There's no place you can really go
But down, down, down
People on the street
Congratulations, they say they love the way you sound
Well, when you′re on the low
No one wants to chit or chat
Or even know your name
Your agent's never there
Your manager has left you out the door somewhere
Standing on the top
(Standing on the top)
On the top getting down, yeah
(Standing on the top)
Yeah, on the top getting down
Temptations, sing!
(Standing on the top)
(Standing on the top)
When you're on the top

We want the funk and nothing else will do
(We want the funk)
We want the funk and nothing else will do
