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.

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.
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.
