Standing on the Top

When you're on the top
There's no place you can really go
But down, down, down
People on the street congratulate
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, top
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 gonna be your long lost friend
They say you great you are, a superstar
But do you have any money to lend
Hey, man, can you loan me two bucks
When you're on the low
Where do all the freaks and fans
And people go I don't know
People say and stare
As they crazy questions
And what's so seldom square

Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, yeah
Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down
Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down, yeah
Standing on the top, top
On the top getting down
Down, down, down

We understand it
Do 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
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, no
We want the funk
Ooh, we want the funk nothing but the punk funk
We want the funk
We want the funk and nothing but the funk
We want the funk
We want the funk understand that we want the funk

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

Repeat the last verse and fade.
