Lyrics

Words Get Stuck in My Throat

If I had a tiny microphone Hidden in my heart It would amplify my love for you But the words get stuck in my throat The words get stuck in my throat If I had a little viewmaster Stuck inside my brain It would snap the pictures all of you But the words get stuck in my throat The words get stuck in my throat If I had a little telegraph Tapping in my brain It would tap the morse code "I love you." But the words get stuck in my throat The words get stuck in my throat Hey, hey, hey What'd I say? Everyday! The words get stuck in my throat (repeating)
