Wind Up - Wishbone Ash

I got home about three A.M.,

Working my fingers to the bone

My woman’s waiting up for me

Gonna put me through the third degree

«Where you been?

Who you seen?»

Is all she wants to know

I can’t lie to save my life

'Cause I got nothin' to hide

Let me tell you what’s been on my mind

You been in the city again

I ain’t lyin', baby, I saw you on your high horse

Walkin' along like you didn’t belong

To any self-respecting man

Is that the way you’re gonna repay

All the love that I’ve given to you?

It’s a wind-up, wind-up

Wind up accusin' me.

(Repeat)

Wind me up

Maybe we should start all over again —

That’s the best advice

Meet me halfway, and I’ll be there —

I been there so long, and now I’m coming home for rest

I’m OK, how about you?

Everything I said, baby, was true

We only got ourselves to blame —

Makin' our bed is just a part of the game

It’s a wind-up, wind-up

Wind up accusin' me

Baby, it’s a wind-up, wind-up

Wind-up for you and me.

(Repeat)

You want me, you want me to be

You gotta stop what you do

Wind-up, wind-up

I don’t need no more of your lies

Wind-up, wind-up

I gotta stop now

Wind-up, wind-up
