Tighten Up Your Tie, Button Up Your Jacket [Make It for the Door] lyrics

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

Button up that jacket

And 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

Button up that jacket

And 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 you did

You can still grab your hat

Cause now I know the score

Tighten up your tie

Button up your jacket

And make it for the door!

Then if you just hear that make, make it for the door

You gotta chunking some with that jacket

Oh, then button up that jacket skin

Baby, and make it for the door!
