Tighten up Your Tie, Button up Your Jacket - Aretha Franklin
Don't get too comfortable, my boy
I'm expecting company
Don't you have somewhere else to go
Or do you just like to visit me?
You can't come around any time you please (uh, uh)
Just like you did before (uh, uh)
So tighten up your tie (tighten up)
B_tton up that jacket (b_tton up)
And make it for the door (make it for the door)
Don't get too close to me, my boy
I'm not playing around with you
Can't you leave well enough alone
Why can't you just realize we're through?
I couldn't start again, oh no sir-ee (uh, uh)
I couldn't take it any more (uh, uh)
So tighten up your tie (tighten up)
B_tton up that jacket (b_tton up)
And make it for the door (make it for the door)
Oh, the bell might ring any minute
And he just wouldn't understand
You had romance but you blew your chance
Tryin' to play a double hand
You know that I'm weak for you, my boy (auh bop, auh bop)
Oh, did you just come around to see (auh bop, auh bop)
If your sweet and tender charms (auh bop, auh bop)
Would still work out on me? (auh bop, auh bop)
Well even if you did (if you did)
You can still grab your hat (your hat)
Cause now I know the score (uh, uh, uh)
Tighten up your tie (tighten up)
B_tton up your jacket (b_tton up)
And make it for the door (make it for the door)
Then if you just hear that make, make it for the door (tighten up your tie, uh, ah ah ah)
You gotta chunking some with that jacket (b_tton up your jacket, uh, ah ah ah)
Oh, then b_tton up that jacket skin (make it for the door, uh, ah ah ah)
Baby, and make it for the door (tighten up your tie)
