Another great non-hit, released in the fall of 66 to underwhelming
response. Note that Rob Grill rerecorded the lead vocal track for the
_Let s Live For Today_ LP.

Verse 1:
So many words
/
Are buzzing round my head
So many words
/
Are still waiting to be said
I keep a-tryin to tell you I m sorry
I keep a-tryin but my mouth gets numb
I keep a-tryin to tell you I m sorry
It s on the tip of my tongue
Chorus:
It s on the tip of my tongue [1, 2, 3: baby]
It s on the tip of my [1, 4: tongue] [2, 3: T- t- t- ah!]
It s on the tip of my tongue
But the words they don t come
Verse 2:
Each time you see me
You must be thinking, "here comes a bad scene"
But if you could just be me
Then you d know what I mean
When I keep trying to tell you I m sorry
When I keep hoping it s not over and done [45: yeah LP: no!]
When I keep trying to tell you I m sorry
It s on the tip of my tongue
Bridge:
What is it you want me to do
Do I have to come out and spell it for you
+
It must hurt you too, going on this way
Wanting to hear words that I just can t say
[repeat chorus 2X; fade at end 2nd time]
-- another ace 60 s tab from Andrew Rogers
