Tightrope

Higher
Another day
I take your pain away

Some people talk about ya
Like they know all about ya
When you get down, they doubt ya
And when you tip it on the scene
Yeah, they talkin' bout ya
'Cause they can't tip on the scene
They just talkin' bout ya
T-t-t-talkin' bout ya

When you get elevated
They love it or they hate it
Keep dancin' on them haters
Keep gettin' funky on the scene
While they jumpin' 'round ya
They try to take all of your dreams
But you can't allow it

'Cause baby, whether you're high or low
'Cause baby, whether you're high or low
Ooh, you gotta tip on the tightrope
T-t-t-tip on the tightrope
Baby, baby, whether you're high or low
'Cause baby, whether you're high or low
Ooh, you gotta tip on the tightrope
Now baby, let me see ya tightrope
And I'm still tippin' on it

See, I'm not walkin' on it
Or tryin' to run around it
This ain't no acrobatics
You either follow or you lead
Yeah, I'm talkin' bout ya
I'll keep on blaming the machine
And I'm talkin' bout it

'Cause baby, whether you're high or low
'Cause baby, whether you're high or low
Ooh, you gotta tip on the tightrope
T-t-t-tip on the tightrope
Baby, baby, whether you're high or low
Whether you're high or low
Ooh, you gotta tip on the tightrope
Now baby, let me see ya tightrope
And I'm still tippin' on it

I tip on alligators
And little rattlesnakers
But I'm another flavor
Something like a terminator
Ain't no equivocating

I fight for what I believe
While you're talking about it
T-t-t-talkin' bout it

Some callin' me a sinner
Some callin' me a winner
I'm callin' you to dinner
Hey, you know exactly what I mean
Yeah, I'm talkin' bout ya

You can rock or you can leave
Watch me tip without ya

And baby, whether I'm high or low
Whether I'm high or low
Ooh, I gotta tip on the tightrope
Baby, baby, whether I'm high or low
I gotta tip on the tightrope
Now baby, let me see ya tightrope
