[First Verse] Go on
Speak slowly in your own tongue
And if I get the translation wrong
Would you let me know?
Or let me sound like a fool? [Chorus] [Second Verse] And I respond
Speaking stuttered in my English tongue
Hoping not to get my meaning wrong
But for so long
I've been tongue-tied
When trying to talk to you [Chorus] [Bridge] And if I speak too slowly
You'll probably let me know
But if I get it right
Tonight
Well, okay [Third Verse] Later on
We can tangle our foreign tongues
To see if the friendship we spun
Was just for fun
Or if there could be something more
Going on [Chorus]
