The Language of Life

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
You think you're 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

[Chorus]
'Cause you never learned to speak the language of life
And here you are a grown man who can't talk to his wife

[Bridge]
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)
(Whoa)

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
'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 understand

[Outro]
You never
Never learned (Never learned)
You never learned
The language of life
You never
Here you are (Here you are)
Grown man (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
