[Verse 1]
Stepped in smooth but I tripped on the door
I tried to catch your eye but I'm not so sure
If I did or not
I've got to down this drink I've got
So I can go to the bar
And it's a tragedy
People talking over me
Dancing to the Human League
Can't move I've got sticky feet
Ooooooh, Ooooooh
Ooooooh, Ooooooh
[Chorus]
I've got a reckless tongue
What are you bothering me for
It's gonna look bad on you
I've got a big old gun
What are you laughing at me for
It's gonna look bad on... you
[Verse 2]
And then I tried my luck
Didn't get very far
It all went to sh**
When some guy took your arm
But I asked for your number
After he'd gone away
I thought I'd done alright
But I didn't catch your name
And it's a tragedy
Please stop talking over me
Can't you see what good I've been
Can't you see the mess I'm in
[Chorus]
I've got a reckless tongue
What are you bothering me for
It's gonna look bad on you
I've got a big old gun
What are you laughing at me for
It's gonna look bad on... you
Yooouuu, Ooooooh
Yooouuu, Ooooooh
Yooouuu, Ooooooh
[Outro]
I've got a reckless tongue
What are you laughing at me for
I've got a reckless tongue
It's gonna look bad on you
I've got a reckless tongue
What are you laughing at me for
I've got a reckless tongue
It's gonna look bad on you
It's gonna look bad on you
