Take me to your best friend's house
Roll around this roundabout
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house

I loved you then and I love you now
Oh yeah
Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye

Don't
Take me to your best friend's house
Normally we're making out
Oh yeah

Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now
Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye

Don't
One, two, three, four
Don't leave me tongue tied
Let's stay up all night

I'll get real high
Slumber party, pillow fight
My eyes and your eyes
Like Peter Pan up in the sky

My best friend's house tonight
Let's bump the beats till beddy-bye
Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't kiss me goodnight
Don't
Take me to your best friend's house

Roll around this roundabout
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now

Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't

Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't
