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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
