Lyrics

A tiger always walks at night and marks his prey while everything's still
He waits until it's unaware and then he strikes and makes his kill
That's the way you've done me girl you never let me brieve
Couldn't feel the way I felt so you'd tried to punish me
Baby it's time to straighten my mind
A spider's always busy spinning webs that no one can get through
Somehow that spider always has reminded me babe of you
You took the love I gave you but you'll never let it live
That's the hang of girl you know how to take but not to give
Baby it's time to straighten my mind
[ trumpet ]
You've kept me like a river always clinging to the ground
I've got to get away from you before I sink and drown
Baby it's time to straighten my mind
