Well, I might not be able to say it out loud
I been watching you from across the crowd, baby
Just as soon as I get the chance
I'll happen to be there when you want to dance

Got to tell you how I feel
Words won't say it but my body will
I get so shy when I'm standing still
I get tongue tied when I have to speak
I said, I get tongue tied, I can't move my feet

Well, some other guys might hand you a line
If you like sweet talk I guess that, that's fine
I won't deceive you with grandiose plans
I put it to you, you'll know I'm your man

Got to tell you how I feel
Words won't say it but my body will
I get so shy when I'm standing still
I get tongue tied when I have to speak
I said that I get tongue tied, I can't move my feet

Tell me why it should be
That you have this effect on me
Why should I be shy with you?
I guess body English will just have to do

Some people sit and talk for days
They say funky music's a passing craze
Once we start to shake it on out
We'll give them something to talk about, yeah

Got to tell you how I feel
Words won't say it but my body will
I get so shy when I'm standing still
I get tongue tied when I have to speak
I said that I get tongue tied, I can't move my feet

Tongue tied when I have to speak
Baby, baby, baby
I get tongue tied and I can't move my feet
