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.
