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 / but 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 will only make do / and the way that we feel / may 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 / but tell me nothing
oh give me the words, give me the words / that tell me everything
