Uptight - Beverley Knight

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
