Tighten Up – Alice Kristiansen (originally by The Black Keys)

I wanted love, I needed love Most of all, most of all Someone said true love was dead And I was bound to fall, bound to fall For you What else can I do?
Take my badge but my heart remains Lovin’ you, baby child Tighten up on your reigns 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, 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 Know just how I feel Telling you to be ready My dear
