Tightrope |
| 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 it |
| Cause they can’t tip on the scene |
| They just talk about it, t-t-t-talk bout it |
| When you get elevated |
| They love it or they hate it |
| You dance up on them haters |
| Keep getting funky on the scene |
| While they jumpin' round ya |
| They trying to take all of your dreams |
| But you can’t allow it |
| Then baby whether you’re high or low |
| Whether you’re high or low |
| You gotta tip on the tightrope (Tip, tip on it) |
| T-t-t-tip on the tightrope (Tip, tip on it) |
| Baby, baby, baby, whether you’re high or low (high or low) |
| Baby whether you’re high or low (high or low) |
| You got to tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it) |
| Now let me see you do the tightrope (tip, tip on it) |
| 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 |
| Keep on blaming the machine, yeah |
| I’m talkin' bout it |
| T-t-t-talkin' bout it |
| I can’t complain about it |
| I gotta keep my balance |
| And just keep dancin on it |
| We gettin funky on the scene |
| Yeah you know about it |
| Like a star on the screen |
| Watch me tip all on it |
| Then baby whether I’m high or low |
| Baby whether you’re high or low |
| You gotta tip on the tightrope |
| Yeah, tip on the tightrope |
| Baby, baby, baby |
| Whether you’re high or low |
| Baby whether you’re high or low |
| Tip on the tightrope |
| Baby let me see you tight rope |
| And I’m still tippin' on it |
| You gotta keep your balance |
| Or you fall into the gap |
| It’s a challenge but I manage |
| Cause I’m cautious with the strap |
| Do damage to your cabbage that |
| A doctor cannot patch |
| Why you don’t want no friction |
| Like the back of a matchbook |
| Daddy Fat Sax will fold you |
| And your MacBook |
| Close shows, shut you down |
| Before we go-go backwards |
| Act up, and whether we high or low |
| We gonna get back-up |
| Like the Dow Jones and NASDAQ |
| Sorta like a thong in an ass crack |
| Come on |
| 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 |
| Why you talkin' 'bout it |
| J-j-just talkin' 'bout it |
| Some callin' me a sinner |
| Some callin' me a winner |
| I’m callin' you to dinner |
| And you know exactly what I mean |
| Yeah I’m talkin bout you |
| You can rock or you can leave |
| Watch me tip without you |
| N-N-Now whether I’m high or low |
| (High or low) |
| Whether I’m high or low |
| (High or low) |
| I’m gonna tip on the tightrope |
| (Tip, tip on it) |
| MMMMMM |
| (Tip, tip on it) |
| Baby, baby, baby |
| Whether I’m high or low |
| (High or low) |
| High or low |
| (High or low) |
| I got to tip on the tightrope |
| (Tip, tip on it) |
| Now baby tip on the tightrope |
| You can’t get too high |
| (You can’t get too high) |
| I said you can’t get too low |
| (We can’t get too low) |
| Cause you get too high |
| (You can’t get too high) |
| No, you’ll surely be low |
| (No, you’ll surely be low) |
| 1, 2, 3, Ho! |
| Yeah, yeah |
| Now shut up, yeah |
| Yeah, now put some voodoo on it |
| Ladies and gentlemen, the funkiest horn section in Metropolis |
| Yeah, OH |
| We call that classy brass |
| Ohhhhhhh |
| OH! |
| Do you mind? |
| If I play the ukulele |
| Just like a little lady |
| Do you mind? |
| If I play the ukulele |
| Just like a little lady |
| As I play the ukulele |
| If I play my ukulele |
| Just like a little lady |
