Pursuit Of Happiness - New Language lyrics

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 heasds around

Your passion is real when I'm in your arms

But when you speak it gets watered down

I know I'm not very articulate

I can't express myself innocuously

But what I say - it comes from the heart

Must you distort the real meaning

[chorus]

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

[chorus]
