about

1980's college rock ditty about being tongue tied in love.

lyrics

I've never been accused of being shy
life of the party? people say that I'm that guy

But I see you and break out in a cold cold sweat
i look like a fool who's tongue tied and soaking wet

i want to tell you that i love you but i know how
i wish that i was brave enough to say it here and now
its such a simple sentence that my ego won't allow
I want to but i don't know how

to spend some time with you
is my greatest single aspiration
but who would want an average dude
who smells of fear and desperation
i try to hello and i forget how to speak
i need you to know that Im not some sort of creepy freak

i want to tell you that i love you but i know how
i wish that i was brave enough to say it here and now
its such a simple sentence that my ego won't allow
I want to but i don't know how

if you read between the lines
i'm sure you'll see all the signs
i don't what words I should say
aren't actions louder anyway?

do i really have to speak for us to have a meeting
'cause when you say a single word it feels like my heart stops beating
'cause i love you bigger than the whole blue sky
but i cant tell you - and i have no good reason why

i want to tell you that i love you but i know how
(whoa Want to tell you!)
i wish that i was brave enough to say it here and now
(whoa Want to tell you!)
its such a simple sentence that my ego won't allow
(whoa Want to tell you!)
i want to tell you that i love you but i know how
(whoa Want to tell you!)
i wish that i was brave enough to say it here and now
(whoa Want to tell you!)
its such a simple sentence that my ego won't allow
(whoa Want to tell you!)
i want to tell you that i love you but i know how
I want to but i don't know how
