"Reckless Tongue" lyrics

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

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

And then I tried my luck
Didn't get very far
It all went to shit
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

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

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
