High Wire - Lou Donaldson

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)
