i keep waiting
for you to do something i don’t like
i keep waiting
but everything you do you do all right
you give me love when i want you
you leave me alone when i don’t
something says i ought to leave you
but something tells me i won’t
’cause you keep tightening up on me and i can’t break away
’cause you keep tightening up on me with a sweeter love every day
it scares me just a little bit knowing i’ll never be free
woman i’m at your mercy ’cause you keep
tightening up tightening up tightening up on me
yeah
ooo
yeah
lalala
your kind of love
makes it hard for a man to say no to you
one look at me
and i know i’ve got to go to you
even when i’m looking away
in my mind i can see you
i ain’t sure that i love you baby
but i know that i need you
’cause you keep tightening up on me and i can’t break away
’cause you keep tightening up on me with a sweeter love every day
it scares me just a little bit knowing i’ll never be free
woman i’m at your mercy ’cause you keep
tightening up tightening up tightening up on me
yeah
ooo
yeah
uhuhuhhuh
ooo
you keep tightening up on me and i can’t break away
you keep tightening up on me with a sweeter love every day
