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 fell 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 fell Might have to be sacrificed
So in a manner of speaking I just want to say That like you I shall find a way To tell you everything by saying nothing
Oh give me the words Give me the words That tell me nothing Oh give me the words Give me the words
