Don't make me speak in a new language
Just let me tell you the way that I feel about you
I sure don't want to offend anyone
But if you take away my words
How can I tell you the truth
An old-fashioned boy and a modern girl
And the way that we talk turns our heads around
Your passion is real when I'm in your arms
But when we speak it gets watered down
I know I'm not very articulate
And I can't express myself innocuously
But what I say, it comes from the heart
Must you distort the real meaning
Don't make me speak in a new language
Just let me tell you the way that I feel about you
I sure don't want to offend anyone
But if you take away my words
How can I tell you the truth
I know it's been said that talk is cheap
But we know the power it really has
Must it be rigid and so benign
Can't it be free and efficacious
Don't make me speak in a new language
Just let me tell you the way that I feel about you
I sure don't want to offend anyone
But if you take away my words
How can I tell you the truth
Don't make me speak in a new language
Just let me tell you the way that I feel about you
I sure don't want to offend anyone
But if you take away my words
How can I tell you the truth
Please don't take away my words
Just let me tell you the truth
