I Cannot Be Tied Down

When I'm hung up on the nails you scratch my back with
You'd be nice to spend some time with
But I cannot be tied down

If I curl up in the place we call affection
Then I need no more protection
And I don't want my world turned round

Knowing this I'm gonna miss you
There's a chance I'll always love you
But I cannot be tied down

If I told you that my caring was pretending
Like the love that's been vibrating
Down the wavelengths of your mind
I'd be hoping that you would not think about it
Make your mind up then don't doubt it
And don't stumble, you're not blind

Knowing this I'm gonna miss you
There's a chance I'll always love you
But I cannot be tied down

If we're tied up in the strings we've been attaching
While the doors at which we're scratching
Stare back without a sound

I can't promise that it will not change my feelings
If it seems I'm double dealing
I just want to be tied down

Knowing this I'm gonna miss you
There's a chance I could have loved you
But I will not be tied down
