Can?t Get the Right Words Out


I?ve seen you standing at the bus stop station, I?ve thought it over a thousand times
My approach and opening gambit, don?t want to crash and burn and fluff my lines
So I?m standing in front of my mirror, practising what I want to say
Learning lines in a parrot style fashion, but they don?t come out that way

I?m finding it hard to tell you how I?m feeling
I?m finding it hard to get the words out
I?m finding it hard to tell you what I?m feeling
And my mind controls my mouth
I?m finding it hard to tell you that I want you
I?m finding it hard to get the words out
I?m finding it hard to tell you that I want you
And my mind controls my mouth
And I CAN?T GET THE RIGHT WORDS OUT

So I wait for you outside the pictures, blowing smoke in the cold night air
Got a ring hidden in my coat pocket, got a minute now to check my hair
So I?m standing in front of the mirror, practising what I want to say
Learning lines parrot style fashion, but they don?t come out that way

I?m finding it hard to tell how I?m feeling
I?m finding it hard to get the words out
I?m finding it hard to tell how I?m feeling
And my mind controls my mouth
I?m finding it hard to tell you that I love you
I?m finding it hard to get the words out
I?m finding it hard to tell you that I love you
And my mind controls my mouth
And I CAN?T GET THE RIGHT WORDS OUT

So I end up saying things that I don?t mean
And I can?t find my words it?s like a spell without a potion
I?m all dried up, my mouth won?t open

I ring you up and ask you to come over, I?ve got some news but can wait and see
You say ok you?ll be over in an hour, how do you put ?it?s not you it?s me?
So I?m standing in front of the mirror, Practising what I want to say
Learn lines parrot style fashion, But they don?t come out that way

I?m finding it hard to tell how I?m feeling
I?m finding it hard to get the words out
I?m finding it hard to tell how I?m feeling
And my mind controls my mouth
I?m finding it hard to tell you that it?s over
I?m finding it hard to tell it?s through
I?m finding it hard to tell that it?s over
And my mind controls my mouth
And I CAN?T GET THE RIGHT WORDS OUT

I saw you standing at the bus stop station, I?ve thought it over a thousand times
