tighten up

i wanted love

i needed love

most of all

most of all

someone said true love was dead

and i'm bound to fall

bound to fall

for you

oh

what can i do?

yeah

take my badge but my heart remains

lovin' you

baby child

tighten up on your reins

you're runnin' wild

runnin' wild

it's true

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

oh show me how

to get right

yeah

it's out of sight

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

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

i know just how i feel

i'm telling you to be ready

my dear
