The Language Of Life

I know you'd rather talk instead
About the things inside your head
But everything, everything 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 understand

You 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 a 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're 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
The children you just don't understand ('cause you never)
Never learned (never learned, you never learned)
The language of life (you never)
Here you are (here you are)
A grown man (a grown man)
(You never) never learned (never learned, you never learned)
The language of life (you never)
And the children you just don't understand
