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 [bad word] reprimand 
But the way that I feel about you 
Is beyond words

Oh give me the words, give me the words 
That tell me nothing 
Ooh 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 just like you, 
I should find a way 
To tell you everything 
By saying nothing

Oh give me the words, give me the words 
That tell me nothing 
Ooh give me the words, give me the words 
That tell me everything
Oh give me the words, give me the words 
But tell me nothing 
Ooh give me the words, give me the words 
That tell me everything
