Music, D. Hall/T Bone Wolk; Lyrics, D. Hall/A. Gorrie/S. Allen



Baby, you're only a sleeping beauty

for a little while

Hoping no prince heats up your day

That you can be lonely all this time

is unbelievable

Playing deaf and dumb, just afraid



Chorus:

Gotta be high when you're

walking on fire

It you Want To

Gotta be cool when you're

breaking the rules

Because you Want To

Gotta be strong,

really got to move on

I know you Want To

Gotta be true, you do what you do

Because you Want To



Don't chat Want To

And you wanna babe

I know you



Go with your urges, holding back

is just a puppy show

You don't need no be-bop to play

Whatever you think your friends

might say is immaterial

What they don't know

might show you the way



Chorus:

Gotta be high when you're

walking on fire

It you Want To

Gotta be cool when you're

breaking the rules

Because you Want To

Gotta be strong,

really got to move on

I know you Want To

Gotta be true, you do what you do

Because you Want To



Don't cha Want To

You know you Want To

Because it feels right

Because it won't bite



Now that you've found your way

around, you want to run to me

Hey don't waste no time

See that sleeping beauty waking up

beside-a me

Making me feel so good just to

see you smile



Chorus:

Gotta be high when you're

walking on fire

It you Want To

Gotta be cool when you're

breaking the rules

Because you Want To

Gotta be strong,

really got to move on

I know you Want To

Gotta be true, you do what you do

Because you Want To



Gotta desire when you're

walking on fire

I know you Want To

Gotta be free when you're

walking with me

Don't you Want To

Maybe it's time to do what you do

Because youWant To

Gotta be high when you're

walking on fire

Don't cha Want To
