Joan Armatrading - You Rope, You Tie Me lyrics

Don't stand in my way let me pass
Easy don't try to block, trip
Or check my baby no counter action
Gonna handicap me baby
You know I'm travelling light
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You're a lion in my path in my light
'Scuse me don't upset
Don't embarrass me baby don't show your body
You're body don't make it
You know I'm moving on right
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You know we started out good
We were in love with all the world
All of a sudden it was out of control
I started to lie
'Cos you couldn't see the truth
Oh, what a sad world

You get too jealous you patronise me
Let me get away you get too jealous
You drive me crazy let me get away
Let me get away

Don't stand in my way in my light
'Scuse me you get too jealous
You patronise me you get too jealous
You drive me crazy you get too jealous
You rope you tie me you get too jealous
I need to be free let me get away
