Melvin: Yes, my skin is black,
But that's no reason to hold me back
Eddie: Why don't you think about it,
Think about it, think about it, think about it,
Think about it...
I have wants and desires,
Just like you
So move on the side
'Cause I'm comin' through, oh!
Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Eddie and Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now, oooh...
Melvin: Yes, your skin is white...
Does that make you right?
Eddie: Why don't you think about it,
Think about it, think about it, think about it,
Think about it...
This is a message
A message to y'all,
Together we stand,
Divided we fall, oh!
Dennis: Black is a color
Just like white,
Tell me how can a color determine whether
You're wrong or right,
We all have our faults...
Yes we do
Eddie: So look in your mirror
Temptations: Look in the mirror
Eddie: What do you see?
Temptations: What do you see?
Eddie: Two eyes,
Temptations: Two eyes,
Eddie: A nose, and a mouth just like me, oh!
Eddie: Your eyes are open
But you refuse to see,
The laws of society
Were made for both you and me,
Because of my color,
I struggle to be free
Sticks and stones,
May break my bones
But in the end,
You're gonna' see my friend, oh!
Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
(chorus repeated several times through music, or "the bridge")
(after a few minutes, above chorus is repeated
as song nears end, and then...)
Temptations: Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Temptations: Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Temptations: Say it!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Temptations: Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Temptations: Say it loud!
Dennis: I'm black and I'm proud!
Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Temptations: Say it loud!
Dennis: I'm black and I'm proud!
Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

The Temptations were one of Motown's most successful groups, with 14 R&B chart-toppers, and 16 songs reaching the Top 10 of the pop charts (including four No.1s). They evolved from the ballads and catchy pop of the "Motown sound" in the 60s, to their own brand of psychedelic soul at the turn of the decade, to quiet storm and disco styles in the 70s. Although the band has had many members over the years, the so-called "Classic 5" consisted of David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin and Paul Williams. Between 1964 and 1968 they enjoyed a string of hits that propelled them to stardom, including "My Girl", "Get Ready", "Beauty is Only Skin Deep", "(I Know) I'm Losing You" and "I Wish it Would Rain". The Temptations survived the departures of three of these performers: Ruffin and Kendricks both quit the band to pursue successful solo careers, while Paul Williams' departure was due to health problems. With Norman Whitfield taking over production duties, the group modernised their sound and enjoyed more success, culminating in the massive 1972 hit "Papa Was a Rolling Stone". The band didn't achieve much in the way of chart hits after 1975, after first moving to disco and then settling on a sophisticated R&B sound, but a version of the band continues to tour today.
