Music, D. Hall/D. Bellochio; Lyrics, D. Hall/A. Gorrie



You know you've got to

throw your body around

You say there ain't no way

to scare you

Knock you down

Highwire routine is working for you

Ain't nothing there for you

to hold on to

Highwire, so far to the end

So many chances to miss your step

If yous tand up (all on your own)

If you fall down (always alone)



Hold On To Yourself baby

Cause no one else will



People gonna watch

your every move

You know there's always something there

for you to prove

Highwire so far to look down

No one to catch you

when you hit the ground

If you stand up (all on your own)

If you fall down (always alone)



Hold On To Yourself baby

Cause no one else will



If you stand up (all on your own)

If you fall down (always alone)

If you need help (nobody else)

Gotta hold on (all by yourself)



Watch your body,

take a Hold Of Yourself

You've gotta make it,

'cause there's no one else

Keep your balance

'til the end of the line

Gotta find a way to get it right



Hold On To Yourself baby

Cause no one else will

(all on your own
