Tightrope Songtext
von Glee Cast

Whoa
Another day
I′ll take your pain away

Some people talk about you
Like they know all about you
When you get down, they doubt you
And when you tipping on the scene
Yeah, they talkin' about it
′Cause they can't tip all on the scene with you talkin' about it
T-t-t-talkin′ about 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 you
They trying to take all your dreams
But you can′t allow it


'Cause, baby, whether you′re high or low
Whether you're high or low
You got to tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
T-t-t-tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)

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 trying to run around it
This ain′t no acrobatics
You either follow or you lead
Yeah, I'm talkin′ about you
I'll keep on blaming the machine
Yeah, I′m talkin' about you
T-t-t-talkin' about it


I can′t complain about it
I gotta keep my balance
And just keep dancing on it
We getting 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 (high or low)
Baby, whether you're high or low (high or low)
You gotta tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
Yeah, tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)

Baby, baby, whether you′re high or low (high or low)
Baby, whether you're high or low (high or low)
Tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
Baby, let me see you tightrope (tip, tip on it)
And I′m still tippin' on it

I tip on alligators and little rattle snakers
But I′m another flavor
Something like a terminator
Ain't no equivocating
I fight for what I believe
Why you talkin' about it?
Sh-sh-she′s talkin′ about it

Some calling me a sinner
Some calling me a winner
I'm calling you to dinner
Hey, you know exactly what I mean
Yeah, I′m talking about you
You can rock or you can leave
Watch me tip without you

Now-now-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)
Ooh (tip, tip on it)

Baby, baby, whether I′m high or low (high or low)
Low-low-low-low (high or low)
I gotta 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" (you can′t get too low)
Ha, 'cause you get too high (′cause you get too high)
No, you'll surely be low (no, you′ll surely be low)
One, two, three, ha

Yeah, yeah

Now, maybe whether I'm high or low (high or low)
Baby, whether you′re high or low (high or low)
You gotta tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
Yeah, tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)

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)
Baby, let me see your tightrope

Let me hear
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You-you

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got to give it up, oh
Ooh yeah, yeah

You′ve got to stay on the scene
Yeah, yeah
Tightrope
Hey, yeah, yeah
