Tongue-Tied
  C2013 Karel Daniels/Rick Leather

I can sing a song about most anything
From Rock n Roll to down-home Texas Swing
But the words won't come
When I'm singin'  'bout you and me
X's and O's start messin' up my mind
Next thing I know I'm forgettin' every line
My thoughts keep driftin' to your huggin' and your kissin'
And baby you  know where that leads...

CHORUS
I get..Tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you
I get..Tongue-tied - Ain't nothin' I can do 
You know, My heart's in it but my head's spinnin'
I'm so dizzy I can hardly speak...
I get tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you and me

You look like a model in a fashion magazine
The walkin', talkin', livin', breathin' girl of my dreams
I wanna paint your picture with my guitar and a melody
But everytime you smile, I can feel my body freeze
I babble like a baby and I buckle at the knees
My pulse starts racin' when you look at me that way 'n
I swear that I can barely breathe

CHORUS
I get..Tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you
I get..Tongue-tied - Ain't nothin' I can do 
You know, My heart's in it but my head's spinnin'
I'm so dizzy I can hardly speak...
I get tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you and me

Bridge
Girl, I know exactly what I wanna say
But my mouth just keeps on getting in the way

CHORUS w/Tag
I get..Tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you
I get..Tongue-tied - Ain't nothin' I can do
You know, My heart's in it but my head's spinnin'
I'm so dizzy I can hardly speak ..
I get..Tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you
I get..Tongue-tied - Ain't nothin I can do
You know, My heart's in it but my head's spinnin'
I'm so dizzy I can barely breathe ..
I get tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you
I get..Tongue-tied .. Ain't nothin' I can do
I get..t-t-t-Tongue-tied when I'm singin' 'bout you and me
