Lyrics
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 dipped too often, gone somewhere
Standing on the top
(Standing on the top)
On the top getting down, yeah
(Standing on the top)
On the top getting down
Temptations, sing
(Standing on the top)
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?
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
Asking crazy questions: "Where you get your hair?"
(And what's on Selden Square?)
Standing on the top
On the top getting down, ho
Standing on the top
On the top getting down, down, down, down
(Standing on the top)
Sing it
Standing on the top
Standing on the top getting down
Can you understand it? (We understand it)
Can you understand it, what I'm talking about?
When I say that funk is here to stay (We understand it)
Can you understand it, what I'm talking about?
Funk is here to stay, oh (We understand it)
If you understand it say yeah (Yeah, yeah)
We want the funk, we want the funk and nothing else will do
We want the funk and nothing else will do
We want the funk, we want the funk and nothing else will do
We want the funk and nothing else will do
We want the funk, we want the funk and nothing else will do
We want the funk and nothing else will do
We want the funk, we want the funk and nothing else will do
We want the funk
