We hide our hearts and then we won't say why
No one ever knows
Long before it shows, long before it shows
Such is the language of love
I say leave when I mean stay
But we feel it deep inside us
But we feel it deep inside us
When a loves begins to wander
The other claims a little victory
No one ever knows
It's tooth for tooth and eye for eye
Our words don't ever seem to say enough
Such is the language of love
It's truth for truth and lie for lie
When we want more you know we ask for less
One cries foul and will not speak
She says no when she means yes
But she don't see and so she moves away
Such is the language of love
And what she wants, you know that I can't guess
But a simple smile, a tender touch
When a loves begins to wander
And all the time, you know we fail to see
What we really want, you know we rarely say
We hem and haw, we balk and bluff
Such is the language of love
Speaks the true language of love
When we want more you know we ask for less
Long before it shows, long before it shows
This is the language of love
