Standing On The Top

Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi

When you're on the top

There's no place you can really go but down, down, down

People on the street congratulate you

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 ripped you off and gone somewhere

Standing on the top

Standing on the top, top

On the top getting down, yeah

Standing on the top (Yeah), top

On the top getting down, Temptations sing

Standing on the top, top

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Standing on the top, top

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

When you're on the top

Everyone you meet they want to be your long lost friend

They say how great you are, a superstar

But do you have any money to lend

(Hey, man, can you loan me a few bucks)

When you're on the low

Where do all the freaks and fancy people go, [I don't know] I don't know

People sit and stare

Askin' crazy questions, "Do you braid your hair" and "What's L-7 Square"

Standing on the top, top

On the top getting down, ho

Hey...hoo

Standing on the top, top

On the top getting down, down, down, down

Standing on the top (Sing)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Well, well, well, well, well, well)

Standing on the top (Well)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Standing on the top getting down)

Can you understand it [We understand it]

Can you understand it what I'm talkin' about

When I say that funk is here to stay [We understand it]

Can you understand it what I'm talkin' about

That funk is here to stay, oh [We understand it]

If you understand it say, "Yeah" {Yeah...yeah...}-a
