letra de cloud nine (live) - the temptations

[verse 1: dennis edwards]
the childhood part of my life
it wasn’t very pretty
you 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

[verse 2: paul williams]
mmm, 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 downhearted
i took to cloud nine

[chorus: paul williams]
i’m doing fine
up here, on cloud nine
listen, one more time
i’m doing fine
up here, on cloud nine
[verse 3: dennis edwards]
folks down there tell me
they say, “give yourself a chance, son
don’t let life pass you by
’cause 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 (ain’t no lie), look around you
it ain’t even safe no more
to walk the streets at night”

[chorus: eddie kendricks and dennis edwards]
ooh, i’m doing fine on cloud nine
let me tell you about cloud nine

[bridge]
(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)
you’re a million miles from reality
(reality) i wanna sail upper, higher
upper, up, up, and away
cloud nine
[break: eddie kendricks]
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

[bridge]
(on 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
(reality) i wanna sail upper, higher
upper, up, up, and away

[outro]
(cloud nine)
you can be what you wanna be
(cloud nine)
you ain’t got no responsibility
(cloud nine)
every man in his mind is free
(cloud nine)
you’re a million miles from reality
(cloud nine)
you can be what you wanna be
i’m riding high, high, high, high, high
