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   Ooh 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 only make do   And the way that we feel   Might 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   Ooh give me the words, give me the words   That tell me everything      Oh give me the words, give me the words   But tell me nothing   Ooh give me the words, give me the words   That tell me everything
