You Keep Tightening Up On Me Lyrics

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

CHORUS:

'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…

O-o-o… yeah…

La-la-la…

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

(chorus)

Yeah…

O-o-o… yeah…

Uh-uh-uh-huh…o-o-o…

You keep tightening up on me, and I can't break away

You keep tightening up on me, with a sweeter love every day
