lyrics

Tongue-Tied

You’re such a tease,
I think it pleases you to see how it affects- my dialect

And I’m tongue tied
oh how I tried to get your image out my head- that’s what I said
Since there’s no way that you’ll end up in my bed

You’re not impressed
I must confess I’m not as cool as I once seemed-
Shot self-esteem

Now you’re so bored
With my chords and lyrics, spelling out what’s wrong-
our life in song
And now you no longer want to sing along

And I’ve always known just the right thing to say
To either bring you back or make you go away
I said I had the mystique to make you weak
I must have lied, now I’m tongue tied


Dm
I was a cad
My being bad is what once drove you right to me -
And now I see

You want it all
You make the calls, with your long legs and that short shirt-
now you’re the flirt
And my pride is left to dangle in the dirt

Now I’m speechless, It makes me cross
No words to express my current stress, I’m at a loss

And I’ve always known just the right thing to say

To either bring you back or make you go away
I said I had the mystique to make you weak
I must have lied, now I’m tongue tied
R. Bell

We love each other so you don’t have to…. ... more
