Lyrics

Tame (live 1990)

Got hips like Cinderella

Must be havin' a good shame

Talkin' sweet about nothin'

Cookie, I think you're tame

Tame, tame

Tame, tame

I'm making good friends with you

When you're shakin' your good frame

Fall on your face in those bad shoes

Lying there like you're tame

Tame, tame

Tame, tame

Tame, tame

Tame

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh

Tame

(Uh huh huh, uh huh huh)

(Uh huh huh, uh huh huh)

Tame, tame

(Uh huh huh, uh huh huh)

(Uh huh huh, uh huh huh)

Tame, tame

(Uh huh huh, uh huh huh)

(Uh huh huh, uh huh huh)

Tame, tame

(Uh huh huh, uh huh huh)

(Uh huh huh, uh huh huh)
