Born Tight

Catch a tiger by the toe And when it bites you, don't let go You bite it back so it knows That you're wild and you're born on a tightrope Build a fortress up on a hill Find a love that fits the bill Sometimes it never will So you burn it down and you notch the kill Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama Can't help you now! (Be brave) Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama Can't help you now! (Be brave) Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama Can't help you now! (Be brave) Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama Can't help you now! You wear your fears up on your shoulders Like a bird with the weight of a boulder Will you pretend the pretense is over? Will you let your anger smolder? When my mind gets old and decrepit And my heart forgets how to forgive Hide a bullet in my nose And whisper that I was born on a tightrope Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama Can't help you now! (Be brave) Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama Can't help you now! (Be brave) Mama Mama, Mama Mama Mama Can't help you now! And the only thing that I ever learned to be true was that: (Be brave) (Be brave) Girls just wanna have fun! (Be brave) Girls just wanna have fun! (Be brave) Girls just wanna have fun! (Be brave) Girls just wanna have fun! (Be brave) (Be brave) (Be brave) Aah!
