Elvis Costello - Someone Took The Words Away Lyrics
Poor headCan hardly move my lips for speakingI saidSo, what is this thing I cannot explain?I'd blame all the things I feel but can't quite placePerhaps they're written on my faceSomeone took the words awayWhy don't you speak up and say what you mean?Summon my powers of conversationI talk to myself,I'm fineWhen you're around,Then I decline the invitationIt's strange to finally find myself so tongue-tiedA change has come over meI'm powerless to expressEvery thing I know but cannot speakAnd if I try my voice will breakSomeone took the words awaySomeone took the words away
