The words that I speak  Don't always match  The feelings to which  They are attached    So just what kind of man is that  Who gives you words  Then takes all of them back  Sometimes I wonder why  I can't articulate  On baited breath  We sit quiet and wait  But how much of the silent treatment can my lady take?  When the words I give are the words that break.      Chorus:  I have emotions that I can't express  For lack of a language that's half as complex  As all of my emotions but when I find the words  I'll say the sweetest thing she's ever heard  I'll say the sweetest thing she's ever heard    The things I say don't say like I really need them too  But still I try  Sometimes the words are hard to find  To quench your thirst and ease your mind    Chorus    And I will take the time   To make you sure that you're the one  That makes your baby's love come down    Chorus
