We talk and talk and talk



And if we lose our way



A simple change of subject



Will take us on our way



Words of anger hang between us



Like a barbed wire fence



Can't be brushed away



Like a barbed wire fence



If you don't speak my language



What I'm saying won't make sense





Sometimes we're tied and tied again



Still no progress made



Though things may seem better



There's still too much unsaid



Cutting words in conversation



Like a barbed wire fence



Can't be pushed aside



Like a barbed wire fence



If you don't speak my language



What I'm saying won't make sense





If you don't speak my language



What I'm saying won't make sense



If you don't speak my language



What I'm saying won't make sense



If you don't speak my language



What I'm saying won't make sense
