Tongue Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Swimming pool of passion
Mutual attraction
We both know there is something going on
There is something going on
Didn't wanna start this verse
With those three little words
'Cause we both know there is something going on
But I don't wanna play it wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm not gonna say it
No, I don't wanna say it
I don't know how you'll take it
So I'ma try not to say it
'Cause when I've said it in the past
Each time it didn't last
So I'ma try not to say it
But it feels like I might say it
[Chorus]
So I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
[Verse 2]
No big deal explaining how I feel
I don't know why it has taken us so long
Why it's taken us so long
So much hesitation for that kinda conversation
We both know there is something going on now
But we don't wanna play it wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm not gonna say it
So best not to say it
I don't know how you'll take it
So I'ma try not to say it
'Cause when I've said it in the past
Each time it didn't last
So I'ma try not to say it
But it feels like I might say it
[Chorus]
So I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
I'm putting both hands over my
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
[Bridge]
Tippy two, tippy tea, tippy ta-ta-tongue
(I think I love you)
Tip of my tongue
Licky you, licky me, licky luh-luh-love
(I think I love you)
Love's on your tongue
Tippy two, tippy tea, tippy ta-ta-tongue
(I think I love you)
I should bite my tongue
Licky you, licky me, licky luh-luh-love
(I think I love you)
You might be the one
You might be the one
(I think I love ya)
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I'm not trying to say it
No, I don't wanna say it
I'ma try not to say it
But it feels like I might say it
[Chorus]
So I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
I think I love you
I think you're the one
Now I'm putting both hands over my
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out, baby
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
[Outro]
Tippy two, tippy tea, tippy ta-ta-tongue
(I think I love you)
Tip of my tongue
Licky you, licky me, licky luh-luh-love
(I think I love you)
Love's on your tongue
Tippy two, tippy tea, tippy ta-ta-tongue
(I think I love you)
I should bite my tongue
Licky you, licky me, licky luh-luh-love
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
