Let’s set the stage for all the things I’m bout to say
Now imagine this I’m walking on an ordinary day
When suddenly a tragedy unfolds before my face
As I opened up my mouth before
Thoughts pass through my brain
Tried to make a joke but the boss thought it was lame
Tried to make excuses but the cops kept me detained
I tried to share my feelings but my girl don’t feel the same
Now I’m alone and jobless with a ticket to be paid
That’s how it goes
My tongue has a mind of his own
That’s how it goes
My tongue has a mind of his own
Bеfore you ask who’s fault it is, you know I can’t be blamed
My tonguе keeps running free as if he broke out of his reigns
I’ve tried to wrap my mind around it tried ‘most every way
But the things that come out of my mouth ain’t what I’m tryna say
That’s how it goes
My tongue has a mind of his own
That’s how it goes
My tongue has a mind of his own
Isn’t it ironic that I wrote this in a song?
And I’m trying to make it rhyme so all you all sing along
But I don’t trust my tongue enough to make this song sound great
So I’ll leave it to my fingers to take the show away
Guitar solo
When I really look inside I know the question must be asked
Cuz maybe half the problem’s that a talk a bit too fast
And though it’s really hard for me I’ll have to try my best
To slow down
To get some control
Cuz my tongue has a mind of his own
That’s how it goes
My tongue has a mind of his own
