Slip of the Tongue

I'm so tired of being misunderstood

See I say something stupid just when things get good

So I get nervous when the talking's done

'Cause I mess up with the slip of my tongue

I see you coming so I'm feeling weak

I get so nervous I can't even speak

I try to tell you just how I'm doing

But I mess up with the slip of my tongue

I'm slipping

I keep a-slipping

I'm slipping

I get in so much trouble from the slip of my tongue

I called my boss to take my first day off

He said, "Well son, lately you've been back to planet Earth"

He caught me out late that night having some fun

Guess I got caught in the slip of a tongue

I'm slipping

I keep a-slipping

I'm slipping

I get in so much trouble from the slip of my tongue

Well I'm tired

See it's so frustrating

Things keep getting twisted 'round

These words that I'm communicating

Never seem to say what I've been putting down

But when I'm in the kitchen and the oven's hot

And there's something cooking that I like a lot

She says, "Oh come here daddy, let me give you some"

So good with the slip of my tongue

I'm slipping

I keep a-slipping

I'm slipping

I get in so much trouble from the slip of my tongue

So when I'm in the kitchen and the oven's hot

And there's something cooking that I like a lot

She says, "Oh come here daddy, let me give you some"

So good with the slip of my tongue

I'm slipping

I keep a-slipping

I'm slipping

I keep a-slipping

I'm slipping

I keep a-slipping

I'm slipping

I get in so much trouble from the slip of my tongue
