When the Words from Your Heart Get Caught Up in Your Throat Songtext
von The Miracles

Ooh

My heart has been trying to express itself
And it′s really gettin' me down
There′s a strange effect, that comes over me
Whenever you're around

I have so much confidence, when I'm by myself
It′s like my nerves wore an armored coat

But baby now, you′re such a charmer
You melt that coat of armor
And the words from my heart
Get caught up in my throat
Maybe, I better write a note

My heart is gettin' discouraged, with giving me
Line after line, after line
But my lips can′t relate, what my heart has to say
They stutter and stammer each time


If I don't tell you soon, what my heart wants to say
My chance will get more remote

But each time you′ve given me the opportunity
The words from my heart
Get caught up in my throat
Maybe, I better write a note-ah

Ooh

I make the same promises, to my heart every morning-ah
That the very next time we met
I would tell you that I loved ya, and make you mine
By the time the sun starts to set

I rehearsed my lines, a thousand times
Read some sweet poetry, I could quote

But when you open you're door to greet me
Smilin′ oh so sweetly
The words from my heart
Get caught up in my throat
I think, I better write a note


I wanna say the words but they're (caught up in my throat)
I'm gonna find myself a pencil cause I (gotta write a note)
