You've got to walk a tightrope baby, but either way you're gonna fall You've got to walk a tightrope baby, but either way you're gonna fall And there ain't no net there to catch you, you're gonna lose it all You got a pretty little angel, she's your lover and she's your wife You got a pretty little angel, she's your lover and she's your life But you're sleepin' with the devil almost every night The smell of her perfume drives you insane How could such good lovin' cause you so much pain
