Tighten Up - The Mar-Keys

I wanted love, I needed love

Most of all, most of all

Someone said true love was dead

And I’m bound to fall, bound to fall for you

Oh, what can I do?

Yeah

Take my badge but my heart remains

Loving you, baby child

Tighten up on your reigns

You’re running wild, running wild, it’s true

Sick for days, so many ways

I’m aching now, I’m aching now

It’s times like these, I need relief

Please show me how, oh, show me how

To get right, yes, out of sight

When I was young and moving fast

Nothing slowed me down, oh, slowed me down

Now I let the others pass

I’ve come around, oh, come around, 'cause I’ve found

Living just to keep going

Going just to be sane

All the while I know

It’s such a shame

I don’t need to get steady

I know just how I feel

Telling you to be ready

My dear
