歌手:The Temptations
专辑:《Cloud Nine》

You see, I was born and raised in the slums of the city
It was a one room shack that slept ten other children beside me
We hardly had enough food or room to sleep
It was hard times
Needed something to ease my troubled mind
It was hard times
Needed something to ease my troubled mind

Give yourself Give yourself Give yourself...
Give yourself a chance and don't let life pass you by
But the world around you is a rat race where only the strong survive
It's a dog-eat-dog world and that ain't no lie
It's a dog-eat-dog world and that ain't no lie

And I'm gonna live the life I love
Up here on Cloud 9
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I'm riding high on Cloud 9 on Cloud 9
