[Verse 1]
So many words
Are buzzin' 'round my head
So many words
Are still waiting to be said

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
I keep a-tryin' but my mouth gets numb
I keep a-tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
It's on the tip of my tongue

[Chorus]
It's on the tip of my tongue, baby
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the tip of my tongue
But the words they don't come

[Verse 2]
Each time you see me
You must be thinking "Here comes a bad scene"
But if you could just be me
Then you'd know what I mean

[Pre-Chorus]
When I keep tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
When I keep hopin' it's not over and done, yeah
When I keep tryin' to tell you I'm sorry
It's on the tip of my tongue
[Chorus]
It's on the tip of my tongue, baby
It's on the tip of my tuh-tuh-tuh-uh
It's on the tip of my tongue
But the words they don't come

[Bridge]
What is it you want me to do?
Do I have to come out and spell it for you?
It must hurt you too, going on this way
Wanting to hear words that I just can't say

[Chorus]
It's on the tip of my tongue, baby
It's on the tip of my tuh-tuh-tuh-uh
It's on the tip of my tongue
But the words they don't come, yeah

[Outro]
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the tip of my tongue, yeah
It's on the tip of my tongue
