Tighten Up Your Tie, Button Up Your Jacket [Make It For The Door]

SMITH BILLY DAWN

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
