Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know why, I just know I do
I just can't explain in this language that I use
Somethin' leaves me speechless each time that you approach
Each time you glide right through me as if I was a ghost
[Verse 2]
If I only could tell ya, if ya only would listen
I've got a line or two to use on you
I've got a romance we could christen
[Verse 3]
And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand
But I heard in a film one time, spoken by the leading man
He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere
And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears
A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish
[Verse 4]
If you can't comprehend, read it in my eyes
If you don't understand it's love in a thin disguise
And what it takes to move you each time that you resist
Is more than just a pretty face to prove that I exist
[Verse 5]
If I only could tell you, if you only would listen
I've got a line or two to use on you
I've got a romance we could christen
[Verse 6]
And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand
But I heard in a film one time, spoken by the leading man
He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere
And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears
A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish
[Verse 7]
When manners make no difference and my gifts all lay undone
I trade my accent in on chance and fall back on a foreign tongue
[Verse 8]
And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand
But I heard in a film one time, spoken by the leading man
He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere
And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears
(Ooh) A word in Spanish (Ooh-ooh) a word in Spanish
There's a word in Spanish
(Ooh-ooh) A word in Spanish
