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 )
