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 am bound to fall, bound to fall
For you
Oh, what can I do?
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Take my badge but my heart remains
Loving you, baby child
Tighten up on your reins
You are running wild, running wild
It's true

[Verse 3]
Sick for days in so many ways
I'm aching now, I am aching now
It's times like these I need relief
Please show me how, oh 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 have come around
Oh come around
Because I've found
[Verse 5]
Living just to keep going
Going just to be sane
All the while not knowing
It is such a shame
I don't need to get steady
I know just how I feel
I am telling you to be ready
My dear

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]
