Tongue Sandwiches

Tongue Sandwiches

Telling you the tongue sandwich story
I realized it wasn't funny, it was sad
As if I were dragging my guts behind me.

And when you joked that I cry more
Than you do, I froze up. You said,
"What's wrong?" I said, "I used to cry a lot.
He would say, 'Stop crying. If you don't
I'll make you cry. I'll give you a reason.'"
