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
