I know you'd rather talk
instead about the
Things inside your head,
but everything, everything,
That I overheard,
tells me you just don't have the words.
Cause you never learned
to speak the language
Of life, and here you are
a grown man who can't talk
To his wife. And the children
you don't understand.
You think you're come on pretty far, still
Got the job,
the house and the car. But there's one
Thing, one thing that you
never get - a grip on life?
Sweet alphabet. Cause you never
learned to speak the
Language of life,
and here you are a grown man who
Can't talk to his wife.
And when things get out of hand,
and the kids you
Don't understand,
love is foreign land. Over words
You have no command,
you have no com mand
But
it's not that you don't care
Admit it baby,
And you're half way there. Cause you know,
you know
That you feel much more than
you ever have the words for.
Cause you never learned to speak
the language of life,
And here you are a grown man
who can't talk to his wife,
And the children you just don't understand.
