The Temptations - Plastic Man (HD) Video + Audio

If you like it enjoy it ♫♫♫

"Plastic Man", with its lead vocal shared between Edwards, Harris, Franklin and Street, disparages "plastic people" who operate in backhanded ways and came out from Masterpiece which is a 1973 album by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label, produced and written by Norman Whitfield.

Masterpiece was the final Temptations LP recorded in Detroit at Motown's Hitsville U.S.A. studio. By 1973, Motown Records had completed its migration to Hollywood, California, and beginning with the next release, 1990 (another GREAT album) the Temptations would record in Los Angeles-area studios.

Plastic Man Lyrics

Well he specializes in talkin' trash
Carries himself like the world's biggest spender
But he ain't never got no cash
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

Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can
Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can
Plastic man

Well he's a self preservationist, yes he is
Let me hear you say yeah. yeah, yeah
And a super conversationist, yes he is
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah

Always borrows, never lends
He says, you know me man, I was here, 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

Clain to fame he has none
Friends in this world, he has now maybe one
He hates being just another face in the crowd
Giving another brother, five and talk in' loud

Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can
Plastic man Tryin' to get over any way he can
Plastic man

I guess you know he does a
Little dipping and dabbing
In a gang, they go on
Backstabbing

You better stop your fantasizing
Start, boo boo boo boom
To realizing that black is black
And white is white
Wrong is wrong and right is right

Plastic Man
Trying to get it over
Any way he can
Plastic Man
Trying to get it over
Any way he can
