a word in spanish

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

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
