New Edition › Lyrics › Tighten It Up

I know sometimes I seem a little crazy
I'm not too crazy in love
See I'm not a trick, I can take it or leave it
You can be about it 'cause I can do without it

For some reason you take your life for granted
Like it's a game and you'll always win
The things you say and the things you do
You act like it won't come to an end, you need to realize

Easily you can be left alone
Tighten it up, you better
Before you find yourself by yourself
Easily you can be left alone
Tighten it up, you better
Before you find yourself by yourself

Some people say that I'm nothing but a player
I don't play when it comes to my heart
Don't be so cool, when you know everything is cool
You can be about it 'cause I can do without it

You know I let you slide once, let you slide twice
The third time babydoll, it won't be so nice
You looking hot though but you can't play ron devoe
The laid back mack with mad flow so here we go

I got a hottie with a mad body don't you know in the five O O
On the way to the crib O, so how you live
I had to ask my man Biv
Uh huh it's looking kind of positive

Easily you can be left alone
Tighten it up, you better
Before you find yourself by yourself
Easily you can be left alone
Tighten it up, you better
Before you find yourself by yourself

Easily you can be left alone
Tighten it up, you better
Before you find yourself by yourself
Easily you can be left alone
Tighten it up, you better
Before you find yourself by yourself

For some reason you take your life for granted
Like it's a game and you'll always win
The things you say and the things you do
You act like it won't come to an end, but you need to realize

Easily you can be left alone
Tighten it up, you better
Before you find yourself by yourself
Easily you can be left alone
Tighten it up, you better
Before you find yourself by yourself

Easily you can be left alone
Tighten it up, you better
Before you find yourself by yourself
Easily you can be left alone
Tighten it up, you better
Before you find yourself by yourself

Is this the part you take my heart
And wipe your feet on?
Is this the part?
Is this the part you take my heart
And wipe your feet on?
