THE BLACK KEYS LYRICS - Tighten Up

"Tighten Up"



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

But what can I do?



Take my badge but my heart remains

Lovin' you, baby child

Tighten up on your reigns

You're runnin' wild, runnin' wild

It's true



Sick for days in so many ways

I'm achin' now, I'm achin' now

It's times like these I need relief

Please show me how, show me how

To get right



When I was young and moving fast

Nothing slowed me down, slowed me down

Now I let the others pass

I've come around, come around



Living just to keep going

Going just to stay sane

All the while never knowing

It's such a shame



I don't need to get steady

I know just how I feel

I'm telling you to get ready

My dear
