The Language of Love

She says no
She means yes
And what she wants
You know that I can’t guess
When we want more
You know we ask for less
Such is the language of love
One cries foul
Will not speak
The other claims a little victory
But all the time
You know we fail to see
This is the language of love
It’s tooth for tooth
Eye for eye
We hide our hearts
And then we won’t say why
It’s truth for truth
Lie for lie
Such is the language of love
I say leave
When I mean stay
But she don’t see
And so she moves away
What we really want
You know we rarely say
Such is the language of love
