lyrics

I noticed it when he came home
Something about him was wrong
A change in his demeanor
Can't quite put my finger
On just what it was
I thought as I tried not to stare
Did he shave or cut his hair
Did he buy a new shirt
I'm going berserk
I should ask but I can't find the words
My voice gets caught in my throat
My fingers feel clammy and cold
I suddenly wonder whatever it is
Do I really wanna know?

Oh I tried
But I'm tongue tied
May be feeling fine
But I'm tellin' ya something's not right
Oh I tried
But I'm tongue tied
May be feeling fine
But I swear to ya something's not right

It could be the scent I can't place
Or the shadow that just crossed his face
His shirt looks too clean
His smile much too sweet
It all seems a little too fake
His conversation is to thin
And I think there's a smudge on his chin
It looks like it's pink
I try not to think
About all of the things it could be
My mouth feels leaden and dry
I try to look in his eye
But I turn away as I wonder if anything he'll say is a lie

Oh I tried
But I'm tongue tied
May be feeling fine
But I'm tellin' ya something's not right
Oh I tried
But I'm tongue tied
May be feeling fine
But I swear to ya something's not right

I think that I'm going crazy
Feeling hazy
The tension is starting to break
To think that he could even do this
Put me through this
The strain that I feel is too much for my heart
But I don't want to be the one left in the dark
But I worry that hearing the dirty old truth will be
Much too hard to take
Oh my nerves start to shake

Oh I tried
But I'm tongue tied
May be feeling fine
But I'm tellin' ya something's not right
Oh I tried
But I'm tongue tied
May be feeling fine
But I swear to ya something's not right
Oh I tried
But I'm tongue tied
May be feeling fine
But I'm tellin' ya something's not right
Oh I tried
But I'm tongue tied
May be feeling fine
But I swear to ya something's not right
