Tighten Up (Live in Portland, ME) Lyrics

[Whistling]

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

[Verse 2]
Take my badge, but my heart remains
Loving you, baby child
Tighten up on your reins you're running wild
Oh running 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
Oh, 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 come around
Oh come around, cause I've found
[Bridge]
Livin' just to keep going
Going just to bе sane
All the while not knowing, such a shamе
I don't need to get steady to know just how I feel
Telling you to be ready, my dear

[Outro]
Thank you everyone
This is going to be our last number
Thank you for coming out tonight

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 [?]
