Dan Fogelberg - The Language of Love lyrics

She says no

When she means yes

And what she wants

You know that I can't guess

When we want more

You know we ask for less

Such is the language of love...

I say leave

When I mean stay

But she don't see

And so she moves away

What we really want

You know we rarely say

Such is the language of love.

It's tooth for tooth

and eye for eye

We hide our hearts

And then we won't say why

It's truth for truth

and lie for lie

Such is the language of love.

One cries foul

And will not speak

The other claims a little victory

And all the time

You know we fail to see

This is the language of love.

When a loves begins to wander

No one ever knows

But we feel it deep inside us

Long before it shows

Long before it shows.

We hem and haw

We balk and bluff

Our words don't ever seem to

say enough

But a simple smile

A tender touch

Speaks the true language of love.

When a loves begins to wander

No one ever knows

But we feel it deep inside us

Long before it shows

Long before it shows.

She says no

When she means yes

And what she wants

You know that I can't guess

When we want more

You know we ask for less

Such is the language of love

Such is the language of love...
