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
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
