Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a manner of speaking
I just want to say
I could never forget the way
You told me everything by saying nothing
[Verse 2]
In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the was I feel about you is beyond words
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, give me the words
In a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That like you, I should try and find a way
Give me the words
To tell you everything
By saying nothing
Say nothing
[Chorus]
Oh, give me the words
In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live
We only make due
Give me the words
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed
Give me the words
[Outro]
Give me the words
Give me the words
