Lyrics

作词 : James
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
Standin' on the top, top
On the top gettin' down, yeah
Standin' on the top, yeah, top
On the top gettin' down [Temptations sing:]
Standin' on the top
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Standin' on the top
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
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 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)
Standin' on the top, top
On the top gettin' down, yeah
Standin' on the top, top
On the top gettin' down, ho
Standin' on the top, top
On the top gettin' down, yeah
Standin' on the top, top
On the top gettin' down
Down, down, down
We understand it
Can you understand it
What I'm talkin' about
When I say that funk
Is here to stay
We understand it
If you understand it
Sing it, 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 nothin' else will do
Nothin' else will do, no
We want the funk
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We want it back
Nothin' but the punk funk
We want the funk, ooh
We want the funk
And nothin' but the funk
We want the funk (We want the funk)
I was sayin' that
We want the funk
We want the funk
We want the funk
And nothin' else
But the funk will do
We want the funk
And nothin' else will do
We want the funk
We want the funk
And nothin' else will do
We want the funk
And nothin' else will do
We want the funk
We want the funk
And nothin' else will do
We want the funk
And nothin' else will do...
