Tie Your Mother Down
Queen Paul Rodgers Lyrics

Ooh, ooh yeah, ooooh yeah
An excited, energetic exclamation of anticipation and eagerness for what's to come.

Get your party gown
Dress up for the occasion and prepare to have a good time.

Get your pigtail down
Loosen up and let your hair down, get ready to have some fun and be carefree.

Get your heart beatin' baby
Get your pulse racing and your adrenaline pumping in excitement for the night ahead.

Got my timin' right
Everything is perfectly in place and aligned to achieve a successful outcome.

Got my act all tight
Fully prepared and ready to perform at a high level.

It's gotta be tonight my little School babe
Tonight is the night, everything is set and ready to go, and the anticipation for the evening is building up.

Your Mamma says you don't
Your mother disapproves of what we're doing and thinks it's a bad idea.

Your Daddy says you won't
Your father doesn't think you're capable of making the right decision and standing up for yourself.

And I'm boilin' up inside
The tension and frustration is building up inside of me, fueled by the disapproval of your family.

Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time - oh no
I am determined to come out on top and succeed this time, despite the obstacles and disapproval in my way.

Tie your mother down
Cut the apron strings and break free from your mother's influence and control.

Lock your daddy out of doors
Exclude your father and his opinions, and keep him from interfering in our affairs.

I don't need him nosin' around
I don't want him to interfere or meddle in our activities or decisions, and think it's best for him to stay out of it.

Give me all your love tonight
Let's forget about the disapproval and negativity, and focus on the love and good feelings we have for each other tonight.

You're such a dirty louse
You have been falsely judged and labeled negatively by your family, but I don't believe it and want to defend you against those accusations.

Go get outta my house
Your family's negative attitude and behavior is not welcome here, and it's time for them to leave.

That's all I ever get from your Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard A single little civil word from those guys
Your family has been very negative and critical, and I have not received any respect or courtesy from them whatsoever.

But you know I don't give a light
I am not concerned or intimidated by their negativity, and will continue to stand up for what I believe in.

I'm gonna make out all right
I am confident in my abilities to handle this situation and succeed despite the opposition.

I've got a sweetheart hand To put a stop to all that Snipin' an' grousin' goin' on all night
I have an ace up my sleeve, a plan or strategy to deflect and neutralize their negativity and criticism.

Take your little brother swimmin' With a brick (that's all right)
It's time to have some fun and forget about the negativity and criticism, even if it means indulging in a bit of harmless mischief.

Or you ain't no friend of mine - ooh no friend of mine - No no, ow, yeah, bad guy
If you can't stand up for yourself and cut the apron strings, we can't continue our relationship and you can't be my friend.

Ooh, your Mammy and your Daddy gonna Plague me till I die
Your parents will always be a negative influence in our relationship, and are likely to cause problems and friction between us.

They can't understand it, I'm just a Peace lovin' guy
Your parents don't understand me, and think I am a troublemaker or a negative influence, when in reality I am just a peaceful person trying to love and be loved.

Get that big big big big big big daddy out of doors
Your father's negative influence and meddling needs to be stopped, and it's time for him to leave and stay out of our affairs.

Give me every inch of your love - ooh All your love tonight
Let's focus on the love we have for each other, and forget about the negativity and disapproval of others.

Yeah, gotta get my timin' right hey Ooh, all your love Tie your mother down
It's important to time things correctly and make sure everything falls into place for us to succeed, while still keeping our focus on the love we have for each other.
