Artist/Band: Temptations
Lyrics for Song: Cloud Nine
Lyrics for Album: 50th Anniversary: Singles Collection 1961-1971 [2011]



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



Paul: 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...

Temptations: Cloud nine

Paul: You can be what you want to be

Temptations: Cloud Nine

Dennis: You ain't got no responsibility

Temptations: Cloud Nine

Eddie: And every man, every man is free

Temptations: Cloud nine

Dennis: You're a million miles from reality

Paul: Reality



Temptations: I wanna' stay up

Eddie and Otis: Higher

Temptations: Up and up,

Up and away



Temptations: Cloud nine



Eddie: I wanna' say I love the life I live,

And I'm going to live, the life I love

Or be on cloud nine...

I, I, I, I, I, I'm ridin' high

Temptations: On cloud nine



Dennis: You're as free as a bird in flight

Temptations: Cloud nine

Melvin: There's no difference between day and night

Temptations: Cloud nine

Eddie: It's a world of love and harmony

Temptations: Cloud nine

Dennis: You're a million miles from reality

Paul: Reality



Temptations: I wanna' stay up

Eddie and Otis: Higher

Temptations: Up and up, up and away



Temptations: Cloud Nine

Paul: You can be what you want to be, ah

Temptations: Cloud nine

Dennis: You ain't got no responsibility

Temptations: Cloud nine

Eddie: Every man in his mind is free

Temptations: Cloud nine

Dennis: You're a million miles from reality

Temptations: Cloud nine

Paul: You can be what you want to be



Temptations: all of them weave in and out with ad libs

and choruses of Boom-booms



fade to end
