Tongue Tied

TONGUE TIED

(Berry - Covay - Lewis)

WANDA JACKSON (CAPITOL LP CUT, 1960)

Oh, great good golly, he thrills me so

When the apple of my eye whispers in my ear

I get real speechless and I act so shy

And all I can say is neenie-neenie-ny

I get tongue tied, ooh

I get tongue tied, yeah

I go, well ah-ah-ah...

What I'm tryin' to say is

I love you, yeah!

I met him one day at the candy shop

My heart started poppin' like a popcorn pop

When he walked up and said, hi sweety pie

Well, all I could say is neenie-neenie-ny

I get tongue tied, ooh

I get tongue tied, yeah

I went, well ah-ah-ah-bah...

I love you, yeah!

I love him so and he loves me too

He's my flat top honey, stands six feet two

I get an itchy twitchy feeling

When he looks into my eyes

But all I can say is neenie-neenie-ny

I get tongue tied, ooh

I get tongue tied, yeah

I go... oh-wah-eh honey

I love you, yeah!

All I can say is neenie-neenie-ny

I get tongue tied, ooh

I get tongue tied, yeah

I go... oh-wah-eh honey... I wanna say...
