Tighten Up (BBC Session) Lyrics

[Whistling]

[Verse 1]
I wanted love, I needed love
Most of all, most of all
Some would say true love was dead
Now I'm bound to fall
Bound to fall for you
Yeah, what can I do

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

[Verse 3]
Sick for days, so many ways
I'm aching now, I'm 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 and I'll come around
Oh come around, cause I found
[Bridge]
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 to know just how I feel
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 [?]
