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
You're far too tight for me, yeah
Untie those sheep shanks, yeah, and all those
fancy knots
I'm not Houdini, honey, come on now and loosen
up
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
You're getting too tight with me
Cause I'm bound so tight I can't breathe
We'll watch the sun go down upon the swollen
sea
If you try to chain me up, I'll vanish like
a broken dream
Don't get so tight with me
Don't get so tight
Far too tight
Don't get tight with me...

I wrote Flip the Switch, and (Mick) had a lot of input on that. Same with Lowdown and Too Tight.
