The Temptations — Plastic Man

[Verse 1: Dennis Edwards] Well, he specializes in talkin' trash Carries himself like the world's biggest spender But he ain't never got no cash The clothes he wears are second to none He's a Jack of all trades and a master of none Agrees with everything he knows nothin' about So he doesn't feel left out Secondary all the things in life he really wants Being in is his thing So he's got to keep up his front [Chorus: The Temptations] Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can Plastic man Trvin' to get over any way he can [Bridge: Dennis Edwards, Melvin Franklin, Damon Harris] Let me tell you about him He's a, he's a, he's a self-preservationist, yes he is Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah And a super-conversationalist, yes he is Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah Well, he always borrows, never lends He says, "Get off me, man! I'm with him, let me in!" Says he's willing to stick through thick and thin But when the chips are down People find him if you can (Plastic man) Claim to fame he has none Friends in this world, maybe one He hates being just another face in the crowd Giving another brother five and talkin' loud [Chorus: The Temptations] Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can [Bridge] I guess you know he does a little, uh, dippin' and dabbin' In a game they call backstabbin' (Plastic man) You better stop your fantasizin' And start, buh-buh-boom-boom, to realizin' that Black is black and white is white Wrong is wrong, hey, and right is right [Chorus: The Temptations] Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can
