Tip Of My Tongue Lyrics

Tonight's the night I'm gonna
Make my true confession
I got my courage up
There's nothing that can keep me down now
My words get tangled up in good intentions
But I know what my heart wants to say
I've got to let you know for
Worse or for better, there's a
Hundred ways that I could show you
But it wouldn't matter
It's time to tell you
And I'll try to keep it simple
I know what you want to hear
Why do I forget every time you get near

Right on the tip of my tongue
Right on the tip of my tongue
Right on the tip of my tongue
On the tip of my tongue Three little words that I want to say
You'll never know if you walk away

Look in my eyes and tell me
What do you see
There's a message that I'm sending
And I hope you receive
My words get tangled up in good intentions
You'll know what my heart wants to say

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song! I think Johnny Diesel (Mark Lizotte) is hot as hell!

Everytime I hear the lines, "But I know what my heart wants to say" and "I know what you want to hear", I get goosebumps. His voice sounds so sexy in those parts!

The song's about him being with a girl and she wants him to say that he loves her. He does love her but he just can't say it so this song is to that girl.
