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 becomes 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
