Many things: Without more information it would be difficult to tell. The most common causes would be a spasm of the "lip muscles" or orbicularis oris; an electrolyte deficiency (most likely calcium); or a nervous tic. However you should have a thorough history and exam to determine if there are other neurological problems present which could indicate a more serious condition.
