Lyrics High Wire - Lou Donaldson

High Wire

Girl, I’m walkin' on a high wire
Believe me girl, this wind is blowin' strong
I’m walkin' on a high wire
And there’s no net below, if things go wrong
Down there, there’s a big fire
Waiting naturally for me to fall
I’m walkin' on a high wire
There just ain’t no escape for me
(Ah…)
I don’t know why I got myself mixed up with you at all!
(Ah…)
But I’m gonna make the best of it, I’m having such a ball
I’m constantly in danger (danger)
But I must accept that fact
'Cause lovin' you is something else
Believe me, it’s no act (no act)
Said I’m walkin' (walkin') on a high wire (high wire)
Believe me girl, this wind is blowin' strong!
(blowin' strong)
I’m walkin' (walkin') on a high wire (high wire)
And there’s no net below, if things go wrong (things go wrong)
(Ah…)
I don’t know why I got myself mixed up with you at all!
(Ah…)
But I gotta make the best of it, I’m having such a ball
Said I’m walkin' (walkin') on a high wire (high wire)
Your love got me up, baby (walkin', high wire)
I wanna touch the sky
Love’s got me up, baby (walkin', high wire)
Won’t bring me down
(Walkin', high wire)
