Mike & The Mechanics - Take The Reins lyrics

rate me

I'm a man, don't you forget it, I'm not a little kid

Understand, you might regret it, treating me the way you did

Hey old man, shut your mouth and listen, this here's the new regime

I command, you could go missin', you could be off the scene

(I'm not here to pray) I'm not here to pray

(So papa don't say) so papa don't say, I'm not ready

Cos the hands feel so steady, take the reins

We got a team, we got the muscle, when things are getting tight

Will there seem, if there's a hustle, money changes every fight?

Look at me, you will discover, I'm not my father's son

You will see, when you recover, I'm mama's only one

(Look straight in my eye) look me in the eye

(Try to deny) try to deny, I'm not ready

But these hands feel so sturdy, oh, take the reins

(Take the reins)

(I'm sure in your game) I know that in your game

(You were okay) you were okay, that's behind us

Oh, Louise, is it vengeless?

Oh, take the reins

I'm a man, I'm not a little kid

Why, I understand

Shut your mouth and listen

Ah, and don't work out a new regime

Yeah, I got a team

Yeah, take the reins

I'm mama's only one

Ah, take the reins
