The Language Of Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She says no
When she means yes
And what she wants, you know that I can't guess
When we want more, you know we ask for less
Such is the language of love....
I say leave
When I mean stay
But she don't see and so she moves away
What we really want, you know we rarely say
Such is the language of love
It's tooth for tooth & eye for eye
We hide our hearts & then we won't say why
It's truth for truth & lie for lie
Such is the language of love
One cries foul
And will not speak
The other claims a little victory
And all the time
You know we fail to see
This is the language of love
When a love begins to wander
No one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us
Long before it shows
Long before it shows
We hem & haw
We balk & bluff
Our words don't ever seem to say enough
But a simple smile
A tender touch
Speaks the true language of love
(repeat chorus )
( repeat 1st line)
