Lyrics Uptight - Beverley Knight

Uptight

Listen
You know I kinda like ya
But that doesn’t mean I want ya
I hardly even know ya
Don’t get it twisted
We were jus' sittin' talkin'
Suddenly you got awkward
Whadaya think’s gon' happen?
Don’t get to worried
I’m not about to jump in
Only to find I can’t swim
If this has got a future
My thing has gotta suit ya
I wanna get there slowly, so…
Unwind
Why you trying to read my mind?
Who’s to say if this is right?
If you want to spend some time, well
I don’t do uptight
Listen
Tell me you got the picture
'Cause nobody’s trying to trip ya
Stop with the paranoia
Or is it ego?
Women with every pretence
Hang on to every sentence
That isn’t my existence
Before the action
I need communication, so…
Unwind
Why you trying to read my mind?
Who’s to say if this is right?
If you want to spend some time, well
I don’t do uptight
And if after all the talk, we just don’t get along
Neither one of us has lost a thing
But if there’s still a spark, a little fire to work on
This could be the start of something, so until then
Unwind
Why you trying to read my mind?
Who’s to say if this is right?
If you want to spend some time, well
I don’t do uptight
