The Language of Life Lyrics


I know you rather talk instead
About the things inside your head
Everythin', everythin' that I overheard
Tells me you just don't have the words'Cause you never learned to speak the language of life
And here you are a grown man
Who can't talk to his wife
And the children you don't understandYou think you've come on pretty far
Still got the job, the house and the car
But there's one thing, one thing that you never get
A grip on life's sweet alphabet'Cause you never learned to speak the language of life
And here you are a grown man
Who can't talk to his wife
When things get out of hand and the kids you don't understand
Love is foreign land, over words you have no command
(You have no command)It's not that you don't care admit it baby
And you've half way there
'Cause you know, you know that you feel much more
Than you ever have the words for'Cause you never learned to speak the language of life

And here you are a grown man
Who can't talk to his wife
And the children you just don't understandNever learned
You never learned, language of life
Here you are a grown man
Never learned, language of life
Children you don't understand

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
