| You don’t have to raise your voice every time you talk
|
| I don’t hear you screaming down the phone
|
| You ain’t no drama queen, you don’t make a scene
|
| You don’t need no fire or brimstone
|
| You don’t have to lose it just to make your presence felt
|
| I’ve often wondered what it must be like
|
| Without my disposition, if I could only listen
|
| To your sweet words whenever lightning strikes
|
| You got a way with words, you smooth away the anger
|
| You got a way with words when you comfort me
|
| You don’t have to shout, it always works out
|
| You got a way with words, calm on a restless sea
|
| Patience is a virtue, vengeance is a vice
|
| I never seem to reconcile the two
|
| I got this restless soul and it’s dragging you over the coals
|
| You know I’d be lost if it wasn’t for you
|
| You got a way with words, you soothe away the anger
|
| You got a way with words when you comfort me
|
| You don’t have to shout, it always works out
|
| You got a way with words, calm on a restless sea
|
| I can get myself hung with one little slip of the tongue
|
| I can put my foot right in my mouth
|
| I don’t know how you do it, I know I always blew it
|
| Every time I’d sit with you and try to work things out
|
| You don’t force your opinions down other people’s throat
|
| That ain’t in your personality
|
| You only gotta whisper and everyone gets the picture
|
| I think it’s fair to say, we all agree
|
| That you got a way with words, you rock me just like a lullaby
|
| You got a way with words, it’s extraordinary
|
| You never shout, you just let them slip out
|
| You got a way with words, calm on a restless sea |
