[Verse 1]
I didn't love more than twice
But when you fall in love, you pay the price
Know the rules before you roll the dice
Because love won't always be tender
Sometimes emotions can run too high
You gotta follow your heart and reach for the sky
Rest assured, you're gonna live and die
There's just one thing for you to remember
[Chorus]
The higher you climb
The harder you fall
Oh, when you love someone
That's when you give it all
The higher you climb
The harder you fall
You've got plenty of friends
When you've got it all
For the higher you climb
Remember, the harder you fall
Everyone now
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-whoa...
[Verse 2]
Be very careful of the friends you choose
Because fair-weather friends can be bad news
When you're all alone and you cry the blues
Your friends won't lend you a shoulder
Life is a circle that goes round and round
One day you're up but the next day you're down
Sometimes a smile, then you frown
But we learn as we grow older
[Chorus]
The higher you climb
The harder you fall
Oh, when you love someone
That's when you give it all
The higher you climb
The harder you fall
You've got plenty of friends
When you've got it all
For the higher you climb
Remember, the harder you fall
Everyone now
Everyone
[Bridge]
Everyone loves you when you're climbing
But no one will help you, you miss your timing
(Reach for the sky)
Believe in yourself, you can have it all
Just remember, the higher you climb
The harder you fall
Everyone, now
Ooh-ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
The higher you climb
The harder you fall
When you love someone
That's when you give it all
The higher you climb
The harder you fall
You've got plenty of friends
When you've got it all
[Outro]
Some folks say that the weight of time
Brings a change of heart
And as time goes on
Sometimes friends get to part...
I didn't love more than twice
But when you fall in love, you pay the price
Know the rules before you roll the dice
Because love won't always be tender
Sometimes emotions can run too high
You gotta follow your heart and reach for the sky
Rest assured, you're gonna live and die
There's just one thing for you to remember
[Chorus]
The higher you climb
The harder you fall
Oh, when you love someone
That's when you give it all
The higher you climb
The harder you fall
You've got plenty of friends
When you've got it all
For the higher you climb
Remember, the harder you fall
Everyone now
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-whoa...
[Verse 2]
Be very careful of the friends you choose

The harder you fall
