I know you'd rather talk instead about the
|
Things inside your head, but everything, everything,
|
That I overheard, tells me you just don't have the
|
Words. Cause you never learned to speak the language
|
Of life, and here you are a grown man who can't talk
|
To his wife. And the children you don't understand.
|
|
You think you're come on pretty far, still
|
Got the job, the house and the car. But there's one
|
Thing, one thing that you never get -a grip on life?
|
Sweet alphabet. Cause you never learned to speak the
|
Language of life, and here you are a grown man who
|
Can't talk to his wife.
|
|
And when things get out of hand, and the kids you
|
Don't understand -love is foreing land. Over words
|
You have no command, you have no command
|
But it's not that you don't care- Admit it baby,
|
And you're half way there. Cause you know, you know
|
That you feel much more than you ever have the words for.
|
Cause you never learned to speak the language of life,
|
And here you are a grown man who can't talk to his wife,
|
And the children you just don't understand.
