fiery_ringThey say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
Babe,
I got you babe,
I got you babe.
The circus is getting good takings. The mood is light, except from the lion tamer, whose treatment of the lion is causing anger among both ringmaster and staff.
Carlotta and Will's act has had such a good reception that they have been given the lion tamer's longer slot. The lion tamer is, understandably, very resentful of this.
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a lot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Babe,
I got you babe,
I got you babe.
Night after night, in the dazzling lights of the ring, they live the dream, neither tiring of it in the slightest, both basking in the attention. Both oblivious of the lion tamer watching them.
It's early in the morning when the alarm goes up. Carlotta comes out of the caravan at the sound of Will yelling. He's with the horses, and the lion is loose close to where they're tethered. He's pulled Orion away first; without him, their whole act and livelihood is lost. The rest of the horses are panicking.
"Get the Lion Tamer, and the Ringmaster." Will says to her, not raising his voice again. He has his riding whip, but it's nothing like long enough. "Quickly!"
Carlotta doesn't want to leave him, but she runs quickly to the caravans. The Lion Tamer doesn't respond, but the Ringmaster hurries, bringing the morning's bacon. Together, they get the lion back into its cage before it can maul anyone. As the door is slammed shut and locked, Carlotta hugs Will tight.
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
The lion tamer is eventually found. His guilt and sabotage attempt are all too clear. By lunch time, he has packed his caravan and taken off, with his lion.
"We will get another act." Leonado says. "Jugglers, perhaps. "For now, everyone perform an extra two minutes. William, see to it that all the horses are well."
They move on the next day.
So let them say your hair's too long,
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong.
Then put your little hand in mine,
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb.
Babe,
I got you babe,
I got you babe.
I got you to hold my hand,
I got you to understand,
I got you to walk with me,
I got you to talk with me,
I got you to kiss goodnight,
I got you to hold me tight,
I got you, I won't let go,
I got you to love me so,
I got you babe.
