In a manner of speaking, I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing
In a manner of speaking, I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way I feel about you
Is beyond words
Oh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh, give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
In a manner of speaking, semantics won't do
In this life that we live, we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That like you, I should find a way
To tell you everything by saying nothing
In a manner of speaking, I just want to say (Oh, give me the words)
That I'd like you to try and find a way (Give me the words)
To tell you everything, by saying nothing (That tell me nothing)
In a manner of speaking, semantics won't do (Oh, give me the words)
In this life that we live, we only make do (Give me the words)
And the way that we feel, might have to be sacrificed (Give me the words)
Give me the words
Give me the words
Give me the words
