When I kissed you I swallowed my chewing gum
Your warm breath it left me blind, deaf, and dumb
I’ll speak if you want me to, I just don't know what I'd say
Cuz every time I open my mouth the words... They slip away

But just as you walk out of reach it’s "I love you"
And just as I'm back on my feet is "lay back down"
And if there’s a smile on my face, I don't mean to
It's just the expression of a clown

Well you could never be the second to another
And if I said I didn’t need you, well I guess it was a lie
I wanna show you that I meant to be a man
And if I couldn't be a lover, well I guess I didn't try

But just as you walk out of reach it’s "I love you"
And just as I'm back on my feet is "lay back down"
And if there’s a smile on my face, I don't mean to
It's just the expression of a clown
