Tongues

[First Verse]

Go on
Speak slowly in your own tongue
And if I get the translation wrong
Would you let me know?
Or let me sound like a fool?

[Chorus]

[Second Verse]

And I respond
Speaking stuttered in my English tongue
Hoping not to get my meaning wrong
But for so long
I've been tongue-tied
When trying to talk to you

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

And if I speak too slowly
You'll probably let me know
But if I get it right
Tonight
Well, okay

[Third Verse]

Later on
We can tangle our foreign tongues
To see if the friendship we spun
Was just for fun
Or if there could be something more
Going on

[Chorus]
