She's standing in the checkout line Just one cart ahead of mine Surely she's got a man But I don't see a red light on her left hand She's scanning the groceries And I'm hoping she'll notice me As the milk and eggs go by She catches me staring And she starts to smile But oh, I get so tongue-tied It feels like I'm twisted up on the inside It's all in slow motion I'm locked up and frozen Watching the movement Passing me by A kick on the spotlight Here comes the stage fright I wanna say something But I'm so tongue-tied I wish that I could see The name that she signs on her receipt I could act like we met before And then maybe I could get My foot in the door But oh, I get so tongue-tied It feels like I'm twisted up on the inside It's all in slow motion I'm locked up and frozen Watching the movement Passing me by A kick on the spotlight Here comes the stage fright I wanna say something But I'm so tongue-tied What would I say? Maybe you're beautiful What would I say? Do you believe in love at first sight? What would I say? Maybe just hello, hello What you doing tonight? What you doing tonight? But oh, I get so tongue-tied It feels like I'm twisted up on the inside It's all in slow motion I'm locked up and frozen Watching the movement As it passes by Oh, I don't know why I get so tongue-tied It feels like I'm twisted up on the inside I'm falling to pieces I'm standing here speechless Watching the movement Passing me by A kick on the spotlight Here comes the stage fright I wanna say something But I'm so tongue-tied Girl, I wanna say something But I'm so tongue-tied *
