Tighten Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanted love, I needed love
Most of all, most of all
Someone said true love was dead
And I was bound to fall, bound to fall
For you
What else can I do?

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
Yeah, it's out of sight

[Verse 4]
When I was young and moving fast
Nothing slowed me down
Oh slowed me down
Now I let the others pass
I've come around
Oh come around
'Cause I've found
[Instrumental break]

[Verse 5]
Living just to keep going
Going just to be sane
All the while not knowing
It's such a shame
I don't need to get steady
Know just how I feel
Telling you to be ready
My dear

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
