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