You Rope You Tie Me - Joan Armatrading

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
