i just want to say

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 don't understand
how love in silence becomes reprimand
but the way 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 we feel might have to be sacrified

so in a manner of speaking i just want to say
that just 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 that tell me everything.

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.
