MARVIN GAYE
(Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong) The childhood part of my life wasn't very pretty You see, I was born and raised in the slums of the city It was a one-room shack we slept in, the children beside me We hardly had enough food or rooms It was a hard time Needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind. Ooooh listen Father didn't know the meaning of work He disrespected Mama and treated her slightly I left home seekin' a job that I never did find The first thing, downhearted, I took to Cloud 9 I'm doin' fine up here on Cloud 9 Listen, one more time I'm doin' fine up here on Cloud 9 Folks now tell me They say, "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 ain't even safe no more To walk the streets at night I'm doin' fine on Cloud 9 Let me tell you about Cloud 9 (Cloud 9) You can be what you wanna be (Cloud 9) You ain't got no responsibility (Cloud 9) Yeah, every man, every man is free (Cloud 9) You're a million miles from reality (Reality) I wanna say (up) higher (up up and away) Cloud 9 I wanna say I love the life I live And I'm gonna live the life I love Up here on Cloud 9 Uh uh uh uh, I'm ridin' high on Cloud 9 You're as free as a bird in flight (Cloud 9) There's no diff'rence 'tween day and night (Cloud 9) It's a world of love and harmony (Cloud 9) You're a million miles from reality (Reality) I wanna say (up) higher (up up and away) (Cloud 9) You can be what you wanna be (Cloud 9) You ain't got no responsibility (Cloud 9) Every man in his mind is free (Cloud 9) You're a million miles from reality (Cloud 9) You can be what you wanna be...
