[Intro]

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 1]

To TV screens and complex books

My inner world of reason looks

To try to feel or touch, the things you see

With a face and voice so serious

Words so detached in spite of us

You overjustify, how you feel?

[Refrain]

And every line makes perfect sense

You've long rehearsed this circumstance (Words, don't say enough)

Silence is your best defense (Words, don't say enough)

[Verse 2]

So many years, the time has flown

The ups and downs, the world we've grown

Accustomed to has given us our share

But I never thought, we'd come to this

When face to face, we can't exist?

There's no use trying to find, what's not there?

[Refrain]

You think, you've had the final say

But that was over yesterday (Words, don't say enough)

Words come cheap, so don't explain (Words, don't say enough)

[Chorus]

Speak the language of love, tell it straight from your heart

Take a chance and open up

Let the message ring clear, you've got nothing to fear

Tell it like it is

[Post-Chorus]

Open up your heart and mind

Thoughts and feelings realign

You've got yours and I've got mine

[Bridge]

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) Enough's enough, enough's enough, enough's enough

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) So take a chance and open up

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Speak the language of love, tell it straight from your heart

Take a chance and open up

Let the message ring clear, you've got nothing to fear

Tell it like it is

[Post-Chorus]

Open up your heart and mind

Thoughts and feelings realign

You've got yours and I've got mine (Words, don't say enough)

What is wrong with your life?

Take a look down deep inside

Love is going back in time (Words, don't say enough)

[Outro]

Speak the language of love, tell it straight from your heart (Words, don't say enough)

(To TV screens and complex books) Let the message ring clear, you've got nothing to fear

(My inner world of reason looks) (Words, don't say enough)

(With a face and voice so serious) Speak the language of love, tell it straight from your heart

(You overjustify, how you feel?) (Words, don't say enough)

Let the message ring clear, you've got nothing to fear (Words, don't say enough)

Speak the language of love, tell it straight from your heart (Words, don't say enough)

Let the message ring clear, you've got nothing to fear (Words, don't say enough)

Speak the language of love, tell it straight from your heart—
