[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]
