lyrics

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?

I respond
Speakin' 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

And if I speak too slowly
You’ll probably let me know
But if I get it right
Tonight

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