Paragraph Lyric
Don't make me speak in a new languageJust let me tell you the way that I feel about youI sure don't want to offend anyoneBut if you take away my words how can I tell you the truthAn old-fashioned boy and a modern girlAnd the way that we talk turns our heasds aroundYour passion is real when I'm in your armsBut when you speak it gets watered downI know I'm not very articulateI can't express myself innocuouslyBut what I say - it comes from the heartMust you distort the real meaning[chorus]I know it's been said that talk is cheapBut we know the power it really hasMust it be rigid and so benignCan't it be free and efficacious[chorus]
