The Language of Life

I know you'd rather talk instead

About the things inside your head

But everything, everything that I overheard

Tells me you just don't have the words

'Cause you never learned to speak the language of life

And here you are a grown man who can't talk to his wife

And the children you don't understand

You think you're come on pretty far

Still got the job, the house and the car

But there's one thing, one thing that you never get

A grip on life's sweet alphabet

'Cause you never learned to speak the language of life

And here you are a grown man who can't talk to his wife

When things get out of hand

And the kids you don't understand

Love is foreign land

Over words you have no command

(You have no command)

(Whoa)

It's not that you don't care

Admit it baby and you're half way there

'Cause you know, you know that you feel much more

Than you ever have the words for

'Cause you never learned to speak the language of life

And here you are a grown man who can't talk to his wife

And the children you just don't understand

You never

Never learned (Never learned)

You never learned

The language of life

You never

Here you are (Here you are)

Grown man (Grown man)

You never

Never learned (Never learned)

You never learned

The language of life

You never

And the children you just don't understand
