Lyrics

Hey, I'm talking about you
And about those mornings when before you can get up
You got to push the world off your bed
You know what I'm talking about
Or maybe you're down about that phone call
Or maybe that phone call never came, you dig?
'Cause sometimes it be that way
Well baby, outside things are happening
And ain't nobody got the time nor inclination
To stop and listen to your troubles
So I'm gonna give you two choices
Either you crawl back into bed
And pull the world over your head
Or start walking
And if you're walking anywhere near me, check yourself
'Cause this is what you gotta do, sure enough
I ain't shucking nor jiving
Walk tall
Better walk tall when men fall
Baby, that's what I need
Don't ever fall when men fall, no
'Cause baby, that I don't need
Gonna walk over this town, yeah
Oh baby, that's what I need
Ain't gonna ever look down, no
Oh baby, that I don't need
Walk tall when you move out
Walk tall and there's no doubt
That no one can make you small
Not when you're walking tall
Don't give up when you're down
'Cause baby, that I don't need
Just walk those blues into brown right now
'Cause baby, that's what I need
Walk tall and you walk far, baby
You know that's all I need
Just let them know who you are
Oh baby, that's all I need
Walk tall so they know
That walking tall is the way you go
Walk tall for all to see
Walk tall, you walk with me
Hey, come on, baby
Oh, get it together now
Look here, ooh
Come on, walk tall
Oh, hands in the pocket like you don't care
And don't start grooving 'til you get there
