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
Oh! A word in Spanish, uh-uh, a word in Spanish
There is a word in Spanish, uh-uh, a word in Spanish
