The Box Tops

The Box Tops were a Memphis rock group from the 1960s. They are best known for the hits "The Letter", "Cry Like a Baby", and "Soul Deep" and are considered a major blue-eyed soul group of the period. They performed a mixture of current soul music songs by artists such as James and Bobby Purify and Clifford Curry, pop tunes such as "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Keith Reid, Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher of Procol Harum, and songs written by their producers, Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham, and Chips Moman. Vocalist Alex Chilton went on to front the powerpop band Big Star and to launch a career as a solo artist, during which he occasionally performed songs he had sung with the Box Tops. more »

I keep waiting? 
For you to do something I don't like 
I keep waiting? 
But everything you do, you do all right 
You give me love when I want you; 
You leave me alone when I don't 
Something says I ought to leave you, 
But something tells me I won't 

CHORUS: 
'Cause you keep tightening up on me, and I can't break away 
'Cause you keep tightening up on me, with a sweeter love every day. 
It scares me just a little bit, knowing I'll never be free 
Woman, I'm at your mercy, 'cause you keep 
Tightening up, tightening up, tightening up on me 

Yeah? 
O-o-o? yeah? 
La-la-la? 

Your kind of love? 
Makes it hard for a man to say no to you 
One look at me? 
And I know I've got to go to you 
Even when I'm looking away 
In my mind I can see you 
I ain't sure that I love you, baby, 
But I know that I need you 

(chorus) 

Yeah? 
O-o-o? yeah? 
Uh-uh-uh-huh?o-o-o? 

You keep tightening up on me, and I can't break away 
You keep tightening up on me, with a sweeter love every day
