lyrics

English is pretty, but sometimes it seems to lack something.
Speaking it is fine, but you need a beat to make it sing.

I need another tongue besides my mother tongue to talk to you.
No, english just wont do.

I just want you to stay, so maybe I should say, "Yo no quiero vivir sin ti."

English is funny, cause sometimes it doesn't sound quite right.
Maybe cause in English all we seem to do is fuss and fight.

English can be lovely but lately I haven't heard too much of that.
All I hear's those fighin' words, we're constantly in combat.

But when you talk to me, I feel such electricity! But then you hang up the phone, and I'm talking to myself sparking alone.

My english is persuasive but you refuse to take the bait.
I've tried silence, body language... nothing seems to penetrate.
