A Word In Spanish - Elton John

I don't know why

I just know I do

I just can't explain

In this language that I use

Something leaves me speechless

Each time that you approach

Each time you glide right through me

As 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

And 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 words 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

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

I've got a romance we could christen

And 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 words he spoke in Spanish

Brought the female lead to tears

A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish

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

And 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 words he spoke in Spanish

Brought the female lead to tears

A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish

There's a word in Spanish, a word in Spanish
