The Magnetic Fields
I’m Tongue‐Tied
[Chorus]
I'm tongue-tied and useless
I'm weak-kneed and brainless, and then
I mumble some jumble
You kiss me, I'm hist'ry
I'm tongue-tied and useless again

[Verse 1]
My heart pounds
I make sounds
My ears hum
My head pops
The shoe drops
I'm struck dumb

[Chorus]
I'm tongue-tied and useless
I'm weak-kneed and brainless, and then
I mumble some jumble
You kiss me, I'm hist'ry
I'm tongue-tied and useless again

[Verse 2]
You say things
The room swings
I feel faint
I've no doubt
I'll black out
Grand love ain't
[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
I don't die
I say "hi"
How clever
I turn blue
I love you
Forever

[Chorus]
I'm tongue-tied and useless
I'm weak-kneed and brainless, and then
I mumble some jumble
You kiss me, I'm hist'ry
I'm tongue-tied and useless again
I'm tongue-tied and useless again
