lyrics

I fell in love with a tightrope walker
He was old enough to be my father
I went to see him in the night time
When he was hanging from his high wire

I fell in love, love, love

I fell in love with a trapeze artist
He walked so softly on the carpet
I felt so love sick that I could not sleep
A love affair should only last for one week

Oh man it pains me to go
But don't forget I adore you so

I fell in love with a tightrope walker (love sick tightrope walker)
I fell in love with a tightrope walker (baby is it dangerous)
Is it dangerous
Is it dangerous
Is it dangerous
Is it dangerous?
