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
