Lyrics

Whoa
 Another day
 I take your pain away
 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, watch you talk about it
 T-t-t-talkin' 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 tryna take all of 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 tryna run around it
 This ain't no acrobatics
 You either follow or you lead
 Yeah, I'm talkin' bout you
 Or keep on blaming the machine (and now I'm living inside a dream)
 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 dancing on it
 We gettin' funky on the scene and 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)
 Ooh, you got to 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 rattlesnakers
 But I'm another flavour, something like a terminator
 Ain't no equivocating
 I fight for what I believe, while you talkin' bout it
 S-s-she's talkin' bout it
 Some callin' me a sinner
 Some callin' me a winner
 I'm callin' you the dinner
 And you know exactly what I mean, yeah, I'm talkin' bout ya
 You can rock or you can leave, watch me tip without ya
 Now, now, now, whether I'm high or low (high or low)
 Whether I'm high or low (high or low)
 You gotta tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
 (Tip, tip on it)
 Baby, baby, whether I'm high or low (high or low)
 Oh, high or low (high or low)
 I got to tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
 My 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, go
 Yeah
 Yeah
 Now shut up
 Yeah
 Yeah
 Now put some voodoo on it
 Ladies and gentlemen, the funkiest horn section in Metropolis
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 Oh
 We call that classy brass
 (Happy birthday)
 Do y'all mind (happy birthday)
 If I play the ukulele? (happy birthday)
 Just like a little lady (happy birthday)
 Do y'all mind (happy birthday)
 If I play the ukulele? (happy birthday)
 Just like a little lady (happy birthday)
 If I play the ukulele (happy birthday)
 If I play my ukulele (happy birthday)
 Just like a little lady (happy birthday)
 Just like a little lady (happy birthday)
 Ukulele (happy birthday)
 Just like a little lady (happy birthday)
 If I play my ukulele (happy birthday)
 (Happy birthday)
 (Happy birthday)
