Tongue Tied by Trout Fishing In America Lyrics

(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
