Too Tight
The Rolling Stones · The Rolling Stones Box Set [2009]
Baby, don't get too tight with me
Yes, you're far too tight for me
I got your messages
And how can I resist
But if you come around
Don't slap the cuffs upon my wrist
Baby you're tight for me
(I warn you) yeah
Far too tight for me
Yeah
Untie those sheep shanks, yes
And all those fancy knots
I'm not Houdini, honey
C'mon now and loosen up
(Tight)
(Too tight)
(Too tight)
(Too tight)
Yeah, don't try to reel me in
With all those charm school looks
I've seen it all a thousand times
I sung that song, I wrote that fucking book
Do yourself a favor now
Don't drive me 'round the block
Let's split another bottle, now
Let's take a hit, loosen up
Don't get too tight on me
'Cause I'm, I'm bound so tight I can't breathe
We'll watch the sun go down
Upon the swollen sea
Aahhhhhh
If you try to chain me up
I'll vanish like a broken dream
Don't get so tight
Don't get so tight
Too tight
