Lately, I've been hard to reach I've been too long on my own Everybody has a private world Where they can be alone
Are you calling me? Are you trying to get through? Are you reaching out for me Like I'm reaching out for you?
Get your party gown and get your pigtail down And get your heart beatin' baby Got my timin' right I got my act all tight It's gotta be tonight, my little school babe
Your Momma says you dont And your daddy says you won't And I'm burnin' up inside Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time
Tie your mother down Tie your mother down Lock your daddy outdoors I don't need him nosin' around Tie your mother down Tie your mother down Give me all your love tonight
'You're such a dirty louse go get outa my house' That's all I ever get from your family ties In fact I don't think I ever heard A single little civil word from those guys I don't give a light I'm gonna make out all right I've got a sweetheart hand To put a stop to all that Snipin' and grousin'
Tie your mother down Tie your mother down Take your little brother swimmin' With a brick that's all right Tie your mother down Tie your mother down Or you ain't no friend of mine oh ain't no friend of mine
I'm a bad guy
Your mommy and your daddy Gonna plague me till I die They can't understand it I'm just a peace lovin' guy
Tie your mother down Tie your mother down Get that big big big big big big Daddy outdoors Tie your mother down yeah Tie your mother down Give me all your love tonight All your love tonight
