roll around your tongue or roll your tongue around

[peyman_sal]

Hello ,

I'm here trying to write some lyrics for a song . I wanted to know what's the correct way :

roll around your tongue OR roll your tongue around .


I mean I know the second one is more common ! But is it possible to use the first one as well ???


Thank you so much !

I'm not sure what you mean by either of them, but song lyrics are very forgiving. You can pretty much say anything you like!

More context would help. Are you moving your tongue, or moving something with your tongue, or ...?

I 'm using it as an imperative form in a sexual contest ! a sex-criminal is talking to his victim !

I don't want to sound like a prude but I won't be giving any more assistance in helping you write a song about a sex crime.

that's what I thought ! but as non native english speaker sometimes it's hard to cross the line !

really ? don't you think you're kind of overreacting ? I mean what if the song's definitely critisizing/analyzing it?

With the amount of context you gave initially, I think most of us would feel that emsr2d2's reaction was natural and normal. Personally, I feel it was quite restrained.
