i don’t know why
i just know i do
i just can’t explain
in this language that i use
something leaves me speechless
each time that you approach
each time you glide right through me
as if i was a ghost
pre
if i only could tell you
if you only would listen
i’ve got a line or two to use on you
i’ve got a romance we could christen
and there’s a word in spanish i don’t understand
but i heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man
he said it with devotion he sounded so sincere
and the words he spoke in spanish brought the female lead to tears
a word in spanish a word in spanish
if you can’t comprehend
read it in my eyes
if you don’t understand it’s love
in a thin disguise
and what it takes to move you
each time that you resist
is more than just a pretty face
to prove that i exist
pr
when manners make no difference
and my gifts all lay undone
i trade my accent in on chance
and fall back on a foreign tongue
