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
