I keep waiting For you to do something I don't like I keep waiting But everything you do, you do all right You give me love when I want you; You leave me alone when I don't Something says I ought to leave you, But something tells me I won't CHORUS: 'Cause you keep tightening up on me, and I can't break away 'Cause you keep tightening up on me, with a sweeter love every day. It scares me just a little bit, knowing I'll never be free Woman, I'm at your mercy, 'cause you keep Tightening up, tightening up, tightening up on me Yeah O-o-o 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 looking away In my mind I can see you I ain't sure that I love you, baby, But I know that I need you (Chorus) Yeah O-o-o yeah Uh-uh-uh-huho-o-o You keep tightening up on me, and I can't break away You keep tightening up on me, with a sweeter love every day
