You'd Have to Tie Me Up (To Tie Me Down)

Well it's true I do have questionable intentions For any of my several lady friends I admit I am a cad and a rounder And for this I do not make amends I suffer from a tarnished reputation But even this boy feels he's honor bound In tellin' you the truth before you Waste your precious youth You'd have to tie me up to tie me down Well you cut a fine figure of a woman But I find variety's the spice of life I see no picket fences in my future I really have got no use for a wife Wedding bells just put me in a panic So honey put away that long white gown All that suffering over a little old gold ring You'd have to tie me up to tie me down You'd have to tie me up to tie me down Honey I ain't had my fill of runnin' round You haven't got a hope Unless you're damn good with a rope You'd have to tie me up to tie me down Darlin' don't you take it none to hard now You know one day another man will come along A man who wants a home and a big family A gentleman who'll never do you wrong But for me I'm betrothed to the nightlife And even though you may think me a hound I'll settle no time soon While every night's a honeymoon You'd have to tie me up to tie me down You'd have to tie me up to tie me down Honey I ain't had my fill of runnin' round You haven't got a hope Unless you're damn good with a rope You'd have to tie me up to tie me down You'd have to tie me up to tie me down I said you'd have to tie me up to tie me down
