Story Behind The Song
I love writing songs with a bluesy feel. This is not based on fact. It's just an idea i developed from the title which came to me first.

Lyrics
TIE ME DOWN SET ME FREE
Thinkin? ?bout you baby I can?t sleep
My friends keep tellin? me, I?m in too deep
But I?m crazy ?bout you baby
Tie me down set me free
That guy you?re livin? with don?t treat you right
Drinks all your money, don?t come home at night
Me! I?m crazy ?bout you baby
Tie me down set me free
He says ?I?m sorry? and you forgive
Oh baby baby baby that ain?t no way to live
You know I love you, I?ll treat you right
Go pack your things
Come home with me tonight
Talk to me baby help me understand
Why you keep holdin? on and on to that man
?Cos I?m crazy ?bout you baby
Tie me down set me free
Don?t be a victim, anymore
Please, pick up your life and walk out that door
No need to worry, don?t be afraid
Lean on me I?m crazy ?bout you babe
Thinkin? ?bout you baby I can?t sleep
My friends keep tellin? me, I?m in too deep
But I?m crazy ?bout you baby
Tie me down set me free
I?m crazy ?bout you baby
Tie me down set me free
