 MIKE & THE MECHANICS - Take The Reins Lyrics

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
c24g2219o110918?gg7h

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
c24g2219o110918?gg7h

[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
c24g2219o110918?gg7h

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
c24g2219o110918?gg7h
I'm mama's only one
Ah, take the reins
c24g2219o110918?gg7h
