A Word In Spanish

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album reg strikes back



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





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
