Well, nothing I said's so important 
That it can't be shortened 
To fit on a badge 
I wish that I could be God 
Try to deliver a soundbite 
But it is the catch 

I can't say what I mean 
I can't say what I mean 

Everybody applauds her 
From the lord to the hordes 
And the nation is swept 
By a one-to-one conversation 
In adult education 
I would tell her except 

I can't say what I mean 
I can't say what I mean 
I can't say what I mean 
Do you know, when you go, I get all tounge-tied. 
I'm the same, all again, back when you arrive 

Can't say you're unattractive 
But I'm out of practice 
In this sort of thing 
It's not like I'm talking Italian 
Or I wear a medallion 
And a sovereign ring 

I can't say what I mean 
I can't say what I mean 
I can't say what I mean 
Do you know, when you go, I get all tounge-tied. 
I'm the same, all again, back when you arrive 

What a face 
What a face 
Can you blame me for pulling a face 
What a waste 
What a face 

Great things can be expressed 
In fifteen words or less 
And bring that to your heart 
Words just don't do it justice 
The world and its [bad word] 
Is still drifting apart 

I can't say what I mean 
I can't say what I mean 
I can't say what I mean 
Do you know, when you go, I get all tounge-tied. 
I'm the same, all again, back when you arrive 

Do you know, when you go, I get all tounge-tied. 
I'm the same, all again, back when you arrive 

What a face 
What a face 
Can you blame me for pulling a face 
What a waste 
What a face
