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 that 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 that we feel might have to be sacrificed
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.
