She says no when she means yes
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
