Tongue Tied Lyrics

Trout Fishing In America Tongue Tied

(K. Grimwood/E. Idlet)
Tongue tied, I tried not to talk,
My stomach was tied up in knots,
I'm not doin' this and not doin' that,
And not doin' what I should not.
But if you're thinkin' I'm sorry, I'm not.
I'm runnin' the distance and carryin' the torch,
Puttin' out flames, leavin' lights on the porch,
I see through the foolish but still can be fooled,
Into thinkin' I'm somethin' I'm not;
But if you're thinkin' I'm sorry, I'm not.
Tongue tied I tried not to say what I meant,
But the truth blurted out, 'bout a hundred percent,
You can beat on the door, but you can't make a dent,
Thinkin' you're somethin' you're not;
And if you're thinkin' I'm sorry, I'm not.
Balance the weight of a careless caress,
With anticipation of love and I miss,
I see through the foolish but still can be fooled,
To thinkin' I'm somethin' I'm not;
And if you're thinkin' I'm sorry, I'm not.
Heyyyyyyy....Tongue tied!
(It repeats itself, over and over it repeats itself.)
Tongue tied, I tried not to talk,
My stomach was tied up in knots,
I'm not doin' this and not doin' that,
And not doin' what I should not.
But if you're thinkin' I'm sorry, I'm not.
I'm runnin' the distance and carryin' the torch,
Puttin' out flames, leavin' lights on the porch,
I see through the foolish but still can be fooled,
To thinkin' I'm somethin' I'm not;
But if you're thinkin' I'm sorry, I'm not.
Heyyyyyyy....
Tongue tied I tried not to say what I meant,
But the truth blurted out, 'bout a hundred percent,
You can beat on the door, but I can't pay the rent,
Thinkin' I'm somethin' I'm not;
And if you're thinkin' I'm sorry, I'm not.
And if you're thinkin' I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not.
