In Other Words

You've got my heart in unfamiliar territory

It's never been out here on my sleeve

But here tonight with you it's quite a different story

You bring out a side of me no one has ever seen

There's something I'm afraid to say to you too early

But I'd be a fool to wait too late

My mind is cautious but my heart is in a hurry

Which one's right, it's really hard to say

In other words

I can't put "I love you" in other words

When I look into your eyes

No other words can capture what I'm feeling

My heart tells my head some things can't be said

In other words

Better men than I have tried to find a better phrase

Still "I love you" has a ring I've never heard

In other words

What we've got here is a touching situation

You smile as if you've read my mind

A pair of "I love you's" gently ends this conversation

'Cause matters of the heart can't be defined

In other words

I can't put "I love you" in other words

When I look into your eyes

No other words can capture what I'm feeling

My heart tells my head some things can't be said

In other words

Better men than I have tried to find a better phrase

Still "I love you" has a ring I've never heard
