Tongue And Groove Lyrics

Here comes another rant, to drive the point I'm making

Begging your indulgence has become a full-time occupation

You have your reservations, slowing negotiations

And I don't mean to press, but I just can't contain myself

How we'd go together, if you just paid attention

From the outset, I was looking for an entrance

I think we'd fit together, like ball and socket

Like tongue and groove, and we are powerless to stop it

I'm not calling you indecisive, not trying to force your hand

You're not a part of my otherwise diabolical plan

If I'm less than persuasive, it's only cause I'm tongue-tied

Tripping over phrases as I try to get the words right

How we'd go together, if you just paid attention

From the outset, I was looking for an entrance

I think we'd fit together, like ball and socket

Like tongue and groove, and we are powerless to stop it

I'm onto you, you're into me

You play it cool, but there's still heat

I know you can't hold out too long

I think you think I could be wrong

Maybe I'm a man of words, and not a man of action

So I'll shut up and put up if it gets me any traction

So here's my best and final deal

Let me show you how I feel

How we'd go together, if you just paid attention

From the outset, I was looking for an entrance

I think we'd fit together, like ball and socket

Like tongue and groove, and we are powerless, powerless to stop it
