Highwire - Linda Carr & The Love Squad

(Kenny Nolan) 1975

Highwire, (highwire), highwire ooh ooh
I’d walk it, I’d walk it for you

Highwire, (highwire), highwire ooh ooh
You got me walking on that wire

Highwire
I’d walk that highwire for you
And even if I fall
I can count on your calling, your loving to see me through

Highwire
I’d walk that highwire for you
But even if I fall
I can count on your calling, your loving to see me through

All the others in the crowd 
They hustle me and say out loud I need you, but ooh what a lie boy
Even here through thick and thin
And only loving I can win the world war
And I can't deny it

For you I’d walk that tightrope
Face all the lions in their cage
Just to prove how much I love you
I would play the fool right on the stage
Ooh baby
Highwire
I’d walk that highwire for you
And even if I fall
I can count on your calling, your loving to see me through

I remember leaving home
Trying to make it on my own, oh baby
Alone in the woods
I was lost
Didn't have a clue, on where to go or what to do and you came
Our paths finally crossed

You made me oh a woman
Your sweet loving showed me the way
Hey little boy
You're my bundle of joy
And I’ll love you till my dying day
Ooh baby

Highwire
I’d walk that highwire for you
And even if I fall
I can count on your calling, your loving to see me through

You, one more time

Ooh oooh ohhhh....

"So hear all you jokers, all you clowns
Come on and lend me your ear
Tell you this man of mine he's just so damn fine
Does that make it perfectly clear?"

Highwire, (highwire), highwire ooh ooh
I'm walking, I'm walking for you

Highwire, (highwire), highwire ooh ooh
You got me walking on that wire

Highwire, (highwire), highwire ooh ooh
I'm walking, I'm walking for you

Highwire, (highwire), highwire ooh ooh
You got me walking on that wire

Highwire, (highwire), highwire ooh ooh
I'm walking, I'm walking for you

Highwire, (highwire), highwire ooh ooh
You got me walking on that wire
