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
And eye for eye

We hide our hearts
And then we won't say why
It's truth for truth

And 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 loves begins to wander
No one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us

Long before it shows
Long before it shows.


We hem and haw
We balk and bluff
Our words don't ever seem to

Say enough
But a simple smile
A tender touch

Speaks the true language of love.

When a loves begins to wander

No one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us
Long before it shows

Long before it shows.

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

Such is the language of love...
