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 dont understand 
How love in silence [bad word] reprimand 
But the may 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 

Oh give me the words 
Give me the words 
That tell me nothing 
Oh give me the words 
Give me the words 
Give me the words 
Give me the words 
Give me the words 

In a manner of speaking
