Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Baby, don't get too tight with me
Yes, you're far too tight for me
I've got your messages
And how can I resist?
But if you come around
Don't slap the cuffs upon my wrist
Baby you're tight for me - I've got to warn you, girl (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
You're far too tight for me - yeah (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Untie those sheep shanks, yeah
And all those fancy knots
I'm not Houdini, honey
Come on now and loosen up (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Tight
Too tight
Too tight
Too tight
Yeah, don't try to reel me in
With all those charm school looks
I've seen it all a thousand times
I sung that song, I wrote that fucking book
Do yourself a favor now
Don't drive me around the block
Let's split another bottle, now
Let's take a hit, loosen up
But don't get too tight with me (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Cause I'm bound so tight I can't breathe (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
We'll watch the sun go down
Upon the swollen sea (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
If you try to chain me up
I'll vanish like a broken dream (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Don't get so tight with me
(Tight)
(Too, too tight) Don't get so tight with me (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Too tight) Don't get so tight
(Too, too tight) (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Too tight) Far too tight
(Too, too tight) (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Tight) Don't get tight with me
(Too, too tight) Don't get so tight with me (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Too tight) Mm yeah
(Too, too tight) Don't get, don't get so tight (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(Tight) Mm don't get so tight, yeah
Don't get so, dont get so, don't get so tight with me, yeah (Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
TrackTalk
I wrote Flip the Switch, and (Mick) had
a lot of input on that. Same with Lowdown and Too Tight.
