Monkees - You Can't Tie A Mustang Down lyrics

by Jeff Barry

I'm a young man, baby,

And a young man I must be,

I've got to live young, baby,

And love young, baby,

And see what I can see.

So remember that you can't tie a mustang down,

No, you can't tie a mustang down,

And you can't keep an ocean in a cup,

Whoa, no, you can't tie a mustang down...or up.

Now I only got one heart, baby,

And I'm gonna keep it hid,

Oh, by the way that I hold you

You might think I love you,

But I never said I did.

So don't impose your will upon me,

I can't stand the sound of chains,

Oh, don't try to tame me

Or blame me or name me,

Oh, baby, ease up on the reins.

And remember that you can't tie a mustang down,

No, you can't tie a mustang down,

Oh, you can't put an ocean in a cup,

Whoa, no, you can't tie a mustang down...or up.

I'm a young man, baby,

And a young man I must be,

I've got to live young, baby,

And love young, baby,

And see what I can see.

So remember that you can't tie a mustang down,

No, you can't tie a mustang down,

Oh, you can't keep an ocean in a cup,

Whoa, no, you can't tie a mustang down...or up.

(Whoa, no!)

You can't tie a mustang down,

You can't tie a mustang down,

You can't keep an ocean in a cup,

Whoa, no, you can't tie a mustang down...or up.

fade out...
