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

O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O 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 live we only make do
And the way that 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

In a manner of speaking
I would like for you to know
Without the words to you I can't show
All that we are is everything
And without your words we are nothing
In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
You are everything
And everything is you
In this life we live
We must may do

(Chorus)

Give me the words
