[Verse 1] What's the matter with your life Is the poverty bringing you down? Is the mailman jerking you around? Did he put your million dollar check In someone else's box? Baby, what's the matter with your world Was it a boy when you wanted a girl? (Boy when you wanted a girl) Don't you know straight hair has got no curl (No curl) Life it isn't real funky Unless it's got that pop Baby [Chorus] Pop life Everybody needs a thrill Pop life We all got a space to fill Pop life Everybody can't be on top But life it ain't real funky Unless it's got that pop Baby [Verse 2] What's that underneath your hair? Is there anybody living there? (Anybody living there) You can't get over, if you say you just don't care (Don't care) Show me a boy who stays in school And I'll show you a boy aware! Baby [Chorus] Pop life Everybody needs a thrill Pop life We all got a space to fill Pop life Everybody can't be on top But life it ain't real funky Unless it's got that pop Baby [Verse 3] What are you putting in your nose? Is that where all your money goes? (Is that where your money goes?) The river of addiction flows There won't be no water When the fire blows Baby [Chorus] Pop life Everybody needs a thrill Pop life We all got a space to fill Pop life Everybody can't be on top But life it ain't real funky Unless it's got that pop Baby Pop life Everybody needs a thrill Pop life We all got a space to fill Pop life Everybody can't be on top But life it ain't real funky Unless it's got that pop Baby
