The Language of Love

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 And eye for eye We hide our hearts And then we won't say why It's truth for truth And 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 loves begins to wander No one ever knows But we feel it deep inside us Long before it shows Long before it shows We hem and haw We balk and bluff Our words don't ever Seem to say enough But a simple smile A tender touch Speaks the true language of love When a loves begins to wander No one ever knows But we feel it deep inside us Long before it shows Long before it shows 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 Such is the language of love
