I'm with him, let me in!"Says he's willing to stick through thick and thinBut when the chips are downPeople find him if you can(Plastic man)Claim to fame he has noneFriends in this world, maybe oneHe hates being just another face in the crowdGiving another brother five and talkin' loud[Chorus: The Temptations]Plastic manTryin' to get over any way he canPlastic manTryin' 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' thatBlack is black and white is whiteWrong is wrong, hey, and right is right[Chorus: The Temptations]Plastic manTryin' to get over any way he canPlastic manTryin' to get over any way he canPlastic manTryin' to get over any way he canPlastic manTryin' to get over any way he can
