JANELLE MONAE lyrics : "Tightrope"

Monae and Leftfoot

Whoaaa

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 dip it on the scene
Yeah they talkin' bout it
Cause they can't dip on the scene

Whatcha 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 trying to 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 gotta 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 tryin' to run around it
This ain't no acrobatics
You either follow or you lead, yeah

I'm talkin' bout you,
I'll keep on blaming the machine, 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 dancin on it
We gettin funky on the scene
And you know about it,

Like a star on the screen
Watch me tipple 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 gotta tip on the tightrope
(Tip, tip on it)

Yeah, tip on the tightrope
(Tip, tip on it)


Maybe, maybe, maybe

Whether you're high or low

(High or low)
Maybe whether you're high or low
(High or low)

Tip on the tightrope
(Tip, tip on it)
Maybe 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' bout it
S-s-she's talkin' bout it

Some callin' me a sinner
Some callin' me a winner
I'm callin' you to dinner
And you know exactly what I mean,
Yeah I'm talkin' bout u

You can rock or you can leave
Watch me tip without you

N-N-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)
MMMMMM
(Tip, tip on it)


Bābŷ baby
Whether I'm high or low
(High or low)
High or low
(High or low)
I got to 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
(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, Huh!

Yeah, yeah

Now shut up, yeah
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!


Oooooohhhh ooooohhhhh
OH!

Do you mind?
If I play the ukulele
Just like a little lady
Do you mind?

If I play the ukulele
Just like a little lady
As I play the ukulele
If I play my ukulele
Just like a little lady

(Happy birthday fades to end)
