So you're searchin' for the right words to
say
To get to know me
You feel your tongue tied up and tucked away
And it leaves you lonely
But it don't have to be hard
If you know who you're talkin' to
And feel the rhythm and the rhyme of my soul and my mind
That's your clue
That I speak the blues (I speak the blues)
They're the only words I understand, yeah yeah
So if you use another language
I'll never know what you had planned
You can say whatever you choose
I speak the blues
I speak the blues, I speak the blues
So you think it's gonna take you forever
To win me over
And you're waiting 'til you say something
clever
To make you bolder
But you don't have to pretend
To be anything but you
And feel the rhythm and the rhyme of my soul and my mind
That's your clue
That I speak the blues (I speak the blues)
They're the only words I understand, yeah yeah
So if you use another language
I'll never know what you had planned
You can say whatever you choose
I speak the blues
I speak the blues, I speak the blues
I speak the blues (I speak the blues)
They're the only words I understand, yeah yeah
So if you use another language
I'll never know what you had planned
You can say whatever you choose
I speak the blues
I speak the blues, I speak the blues
I speak the blues, I speak the blues
