Hall & Oates

Hall & Oates are an American musical duo composed of Daryl Hall and John Oates. They achieved their greatest fame in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s with a fusion of rock and roll and rhythm and blues styles, which they dubbed "rock and soul." Critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine and J. Scott McClintock write, "at their best, Hall & Oates' songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions without being a slave to them by incorporating elements of new wave and hard rock." While much of the duo's reputation is due to its sustained pop-chart run in the 1980s, they continue to record and tour, and remain respected by various artists for their ability to cross stylistic boundaries. more »

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)
