So many words
Are buzzin' 'round my head
So many words
Are still waiting to be said
I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
I keep a-tryin' but my mouth gets numb
I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
It's on the tip of my tongue

It's on the tip of my tongue, baby
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the tip of my tongue
But the words they don't come

Each time you see me
You must be thinking "Here comes a bad scene"
But if you could just be me
Then you'd know what I mean
When I keep tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
When I keep hopin' it's not over and done, yeah
When I keep tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
It's on the tip of my tongue

It's on the tip of my tongue, baby
It's on the tip of my tuh-tuh-tuh-uh
It's on the tip of my tongue
But the words they don't come
What is it you want me to do?
Do I have to come out and spell it for you?
It must hurt you too, going on this way
Wanting to hear words that I just can't say

It's on the tip of my tongue, baby
It's on the tip of my tuh-tuh-tuh-uh
It's on the tip of my tongue
But the words they don't come, yeah

It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the tip of my tongue, yeah
It's on the tip of my tongue
But the words they don't come
