A Word in Spanish lyrics

I don't know why

I just know I do

I just can't explain

In this language that I use

Something leaves me speechless

Each time that you approach

Each time you glide right through me

As if I was a ghost

If I only could tell you

If you only would listen

I've got a line or two to use on you

I've got a romance we could christen

And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand

But I heard it in a film one time,

spoken by the leading man

He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere

And the words he spoke in Spanish

brought the female lead to tears

A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish

If you can't comprehend

Read it in my eyes

If you don't understand it's love

In a thin disguise

And what it takes to move you

Each time that you resist

Is more than just a pretty face

To prove that I exist

If I only could tell you

If you only would listen

I've got a line or two to use on you

I've got a romance we could christen

And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand

But I heard it in a film one time

spoken by the leading man

He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere

And the words he spoke in Spanish

brought the female lead to tears

A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish

When manners make no difference

And my gifts all lay undone

I trade my accent in on chance

And fall back on a foreign tongue

And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand

But I heard it in a film one time

spoken by the leading man

He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere

And the words he spoke in Spanish

brought the female lead to tears

Oh! A word in Spanish, uh-uh, a word in Spanish

There is a word in Spanish, uh-uh, a word in Spanish
