Bob Evans Power of Speech song lyrics

I don't want to chat with you on the telephone

I know what will happen

My jaw will slacken

'til I'm saved by that tone

I don't want to bump in to you on holidays

I'll sweat and I'll choke

On thoughts in my throat

Until you just walk away

Cos every time I see you, Oh now

I lose the power of speech

Words remain out of reach

And I always end up looking like your fool

Every time I see you, Oh now

I lose the power of speech

And that took some time to teach and all

I don't want to converse with you in study class

Cos all that I know

Will blow up in smoke

When it's my turn to speak I'll pass

It's not fair of you to surprise me out on the street

I'll fret and I'll frown

While my eyes bear down

On the nothing by my feet

Cos every time I see you, Oh now

I lose the power of speech

Words remain out of reach

And I always end up looking like your fool

Every time I see you, Oh now

I lose the power of speech

And that took some time to teach and all
