The Temptations - Papa Was A Rollin' Stone lyrics

Some people are just all show

Well, I don't mind that if the show is worth watching

But it's all bark and no tree

What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?

It's all peace and love and limousines

You got the right message, but the wrong intentions

How can you be touchy-feely when you've lost touch?

I think it's time we had a little intervention with you

Hey now, wake up

And lose the makeup

She makes you wanna know her

When you don't know what it's worth

Now you really wanna show her

How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)

There's no better friends than the, the kind you pay

If they don't balance, great - then the door will keep revolving

It's a tight circle of the chosen few

Well, how'd you manage that with the recipe involving

Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst?

Mix it all up - you're the all-purpose flour

Though it looks delicious, something smells bad

I don't think I'd last a half an hour with you

Hey now, wake up

And lose the makeup

She makes you wanna know her

When you don't know what it's worth

Now you really wanna show her

How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)

What's it like to love you

When there's no one else above you

And no one gets to know you?

Well, who'll be there to show you (via satellite)?

It's like making love to a TV

It's kinda novel, but it's miles away from satisfying

Your hangers-on say it's a great deal

But what you're selling, there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying

Hey now, wake up

And lose the makeup

She makes you wanna know her

When you don't know what it's worth

Now you really wanna show her

How she's just so down to Earth

She makes you wanna know her

When you don't know what it's worth

Now you really wanna show her

How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)
