I Don't Want to Tie You Down

Sometimes it's hard to look up under

The times we're going through

I scratch my head and stare and wonder

How to face the day anew

But it gives my life a bit more meaning

To feel in love with you

So heavy, I don't want to weigh you down

Oh baby, I don't want to tie you down

I don't want a thing to mar this ever

The picture that we make

The balance of our minds together

The perfect give and take

For me to let my love possess you

Would be the worst mistake

I'm sorry, I don't want to bring you down

Oh baby, I don't want to tie you down

Oh Jesus, I don't want to nail you down

Oh baby, I don't want to tie you down
