Where am I gonna go?
What am I gonna do?
There's no one to guide me
Now that I'm on my own
I make my own decisions
There's no one behind me.

I do my own talking
Do my own walking
Nobody on which to rely
Do my own lying
Do my own trying
You never let your apron strings untie.

If I said I'm sorry that you've gone
I'd be lying
I feel more sorry for myself
I'm crying, I'm crying.

Wish you'd have let me think
And do for myself
Knowing one day you'd leave me
Knowing one day you'd die
The least you could have done
Is make sure that I could live easy

That I could I do my own talking
Do my own walking
Had a code that I could live by
Do my own lying
Do my own trying
Make sure that I could get by.

If I said I'm sorry that you've gone
I'd be lying
I feel more sorry for myself
I'm crying, I'm crying.

(Guitar Solo)

If I said I'm sorry that you've gone
I'd be lying
I feel more sorry for myself
I'm crying, I'm crying.

It’s good to be free, I don’t want to breeze
They come and they go, whenever I please
Well, honey your love is good for my wings
‘Cause I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings

I kiss you goodnight and what do I do
I hurry on home and dream about you
It’s crazy I know, but just one of those things
I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings

Chorus: Well, you hold my hand and that burns like a fire
You kiss my lips and the flame goes higher
Such a lucky devil to find a little lady like you

I’m crossing my heart and I’m telling no lies
So hold me real close and close your eyes
I think you’re real close, like I need to cling
I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings

I kiss you goodnight and what do I do
I hurry on home and dream about you
It’s crazy I know, but just one of those things
I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings

Well, you hold my hand and that burns like a fire
You kiss my lips and the flame goes higher
Such a lucky devil to find a little lady like you

I’m crossing my heart and I’m telling no lies
So hold me real close and close your eyes
I think you’re real close, like I need to cling
I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings
I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings
I wanna be tied, tied, tied, tied, tied to your apron strings
