Don't get too comfortable, my boy I'm expecting company Don't you have somewhere else to go Or do you just like to visit me? You can't come around any time you please Just like you did before So tighten up your tie (Tighten up) Button up that jacket (Button up) And make it for the door (Make it for the door) Don't get too close to me, my boy I'm not playing around with you Can't you leave well enough alone Why can't you just realize we're through? I couldn't start again, oh no sir-ee I couldn't take it any more So tighten up your tie (Tighten up) Button up that jacket (Button up) And make it for the door (Make it for the door) Oh, the bell might ring any minute And he just wouldn't understand You had romance but you blew your chance Tryin' to play a double hand You know that I'm weak for you, my boy Oh, did you just come around to see If your sweet and tender charms Would still work out on me? Well, even if it did (If it did) You can still grab your hat (Grab your hat) 'Cause now I know the score Tighten up your tie (Tighten up) Button up your jacket (Button up) And make it for the door (Make it for the door) Let it hit you in the back Make it for the door (Tighten up your tie, woo, uh huh) You gotta choke yourself with that tie (Button up your jacket, woo, uh huh) Go on and button up that shark skin (Make it for the door, woo) Baby, and make it for the door (Tighten up your tie, woo, uh huh) Tighten up that tie right now
