Iâm an honest man, Iâve held my tongue
Iâve watched the morons mingle and get the job half done
Never been to the top, no I've never even tried
My principles and shyness have kept my hands tied
When I see you dear, I lose my breath
My silence and surrender dies a hundred deaths
I need the taste of your foreign tongue
I want first base I want home runs
I never held you but I donât mind trying
Sometimes silence is the same as lying
Oh Surrey girl, I love your rain
To win your love, Iâd walk from Maine
I hear you speak, I lose my cool
To win the game, I swear I'll break the rules
Youâll never say, âcanât we just be friendsâ
Youâll feel my love, when I hit send
I never held you but I donât mind trying
Sometimes silence is the same as lying
Donât let me scare you, don't you be alarmed
There's nothing in my heart ever do you harm
We cannot fail, we must be bold
We'll love these days I swear when we get old
Ah come on love, there's no use crying
Denying this love would just be lying
I never held you but I donât mind trying
Sometimes silence is the same as lying
