[CHORUS]

It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say I love you
It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say I love you

I played the game of love and lost
And now my heart must pay the cost
I had the chance to make you mine
But I wasted too much time
And let your love slip away

[Repeat CHORUS]

While I was wondering where to start
She came along and won your heart
With all the tender words of love
That I was thinking of
But never bothered to say

Mmm, wait a minute, wait a minute
I've got something to tell you
Don't walk away, baby

It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say I love you
It was right on the tip of my tongue
And I forgot to say, to say

Didn't you know, couldn't you see it
I tried to tell you, please
Don't you understand, I love you
Don't walk away, oh, please
