[Verse 1]
Only a fool hovers around, holds you down just to let you go
Only a fool dances around, waits for all the right words
To come at the wrong time
All the right words to come at the wrong time

[Chorus]
I’m showing love but not the way you want me to
C’mon, c’mon
Show me how to speak your language
Show me how to love you
Show me how to love you

[Verse 2]
I’ve been a fool, saying a bunch of empty words, but here’s my hunch
You need someone to look in your eyes
Without a word, say we’ll be alright
Oh, we’ll be alright
Look into your eyes and say we’ll be alright

[Chorus]
I’m showing love but not the way you want me to
C’mon, c’mon
Show me how to speak your languagе
Show me how to love you
Show me how to lovе you
[Bridge]
Metaphors and anecdotes, a hundred words you’ve heard before
I’ve been a fool to lie to you, and time again you open your door
I said it then, I’ll say it now
No subtleties to dance around
I love you

[Chorus]
I’m showing love but not the way you want me to
C’mon, c’mon
Show me how to speak your language
Show me how to love you

I’m showing love but not the way you want me to
C’mon, c’mon
Show me how to speak your language
Show me how to love you
Show me how to love you
Show me how to love you
