You Keep Tightening Up On Me Lyrics - The Box Tops

I keep waitin' 

For you to do, some I don't like 

I keep waitin' 

But everything you do, you do all right 

You give me love when I want you 

You leave me alone when I don't 

Somethin' says I ought to leave you 

But somethin' tells me I won't 

'Cause you keep tightening up on me 

And I can't break away 

'Cause you keep tightening up on me with a sweet love every day 

It scares me just a little bit knowin' I'll never be free 

Woman, I'm at your mercy 

'Cause you keep 

Tightening up 

Tightening up 

Tightening up on me 

Yeah 

Ooh yeah 

La la la 

Your kind of love 

Makes it hard for a man to say no to you 

One look at me 

And I know I've got to go to you 

Even when I'm lookin' away 

In my mind I can see you 

I ain't sure that I love you, baby 

But I know that I need you 

'Cause you keep tightening up on me 

And I can't break away 

'Cause you keep tightening up on me with a sweet love every day 

It scares me just a little bit knowin' I'll never be free 

Woman, I'm at your mercy 

'Cause you keep 

Tightening up 

Tightening up 

Tightening up on me 

Yeah 

Ooh yeah
