The Ragbirds - Little Ties lyrics

[Verse 1] When Betty Lou was little She learned to tie her shoes Oh, the little ties we tie Oh, the little ties we tie When she get them home again She let those laces loose Oh, the little ties we tie She tied her hair up in a braid She tied it with a bow Oh, the little ties we tie Oh, the little ties we tie She tied it ‘round her finger Before he could even know Oh, the little ties we tie [Pre-Chorus] When the nights bring us together When the nights pull us apart Oh, the little ties we tie Oh, the little ties we tie [Chorus] They trip us up and tie us To the folly of our hearts Oh, the little ties we tie [Verse 2] Soon, despite their quarrels The two had tied the knot Oh, the little ties we tie Oh, the little ties we tie But the vows they spoke on Sunday By Monday, he'd forgot Oh, the little ties we tie [Pre-Chorus] When the nights bring us together When the nights pull us apart Oh, the little ties we tie Oh, the little ties we tie [Chorus] They trip us up and tie us To the folly of our hearts Oh, the little ties we tie [Verse 3] He was tongue-tied in the kitchen Begging her for clemency Oh, the little ties we tie Oh, the little ties we ti So tangled in his love She couldn't cut her lover free Oh, the little ties we tie [Pre-Chorus] When the nights bring us together When the nights pull us apart Oh, the little ties we tie Oh, the little ties we tie [Chorus] They trip us up and tie us To the folly of our hearts Oh, the little ties we tie [Bridge] When the nights bring us together When the nights pull us apart Oh, the little ties we tie Oh, the little ties we tie [Outro] They trip us up and tie us To the folly of our heart Oh, the little ties we tie Oh, the little ties we tie Oh, the little ties we tie
