Don't make me speak in a new language Just let me tell you the way that I feel about you I sure don't want to offend anyone But if you take away my words How can I tell you the truth An old-fashioned boy and a modern girl And the way that we talk turns our heads around Your pa**ion is real when I'm in your arms But when we speak it gets watered down I know I'm not very articulate And I can't express myself innocuously But what I say, it comes from the heart Must you distort the real meaning Don't make me speak in a new language Just let me tell you the way that I feel about you I sure don't want to offend anyone But if you take away my words
How can I tell you the truth I know it's been said that talk is cheap But we know the power it really has Must it be rigid and so benign Can't it be free and efficacious Don't make me speak in a new language Just let me tell you the way that I feel about you I sure don't want to offend anyone But if you take away my words How can I tell you the truth Don't make me speak in a new language Just let me tell you the way that I feel about you I sure don't want to offend anyone But if you take away my words How can I tell you the truth Please don't take away my words Just let me tell you the truth
