Elton John - A Word In Spanish 

Album:

I don't know why
I just know I do

I just can explain in this language that I use.
Something leaves my speechless each time that you're approach

Each time you glide right through me if I was a ghost.

If I only could tell you
if you only would listen

I've got a line or two to use on you

I've got a romance we could christen.

There's a word in Spanish I don't understand

But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man.
He said it with devotion
he sounded so sincere

And the word he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears.
A word in spanish
a word in Spanish.

If you can't comprehend
read it in my eyes

If you don't understand it's love in a thin disguise.
And what it takes to move you each time that you resist

Is more than just a pretty face to prove that I exist.

If I only could tell you
if you only would listen
...
There's a word in Spanish I don't understand
...

When manners make no difference and my gifts all lay undone

I trade my accent in on chance and fall back on a foreign tongue.

There's a word in Spanish I don't understand
...
There's a word in Spanish
ooh-ooh
a word in Spanish.
