R.E.M. — Tongue lyrics

The page contains the lyrics of the song "Tongue" by R.E.M..

Lyrics

Call my name… here I come
Don’t take to nothing
Watch me run
You call… I am ashamed
To say it Ugly girls know their fate
Anybody can get laid
You want a room with a fire escape
I want to tell you how much I hate this
Don’t leave that stuff all over me It pains me Please just just leave it I should toss that vanity… lesson's burned
Toss that makeup… painted pearls
Box those poems… chocolate cake
Scratch that name on the record player
Please, just leave me be Don’t lay that stuff all over me It crawls all over… all over me Call my name… here I come
Your last ditch lay
Will I never learn?
Caramel turn on a dusty apology
It crawls all over me Your tongue all over me It pains me… please just leave it
