Lyrics by Bernie Taupin and Music by Elton John

I don’t know why,
I just know I do,
I just can’t explain
In this language that I use.

Something leaves me speechless,
Each time that you approach.
Each time you glide right through me
As if I was a ghost.

   If I only could tell you,
   If you only would listen,
   I’ve got a line or two to use on you,
   I’ve got a romance we could christen.

Chorus:
     And there’s a word in Spanish
     I don’t understand.
     But I heard it in a film
     One time spoken by the leading man.
     He said it with devotion,
     He sounded so sincere.
     And the words he spoke in Spanish
     Brought the female lead to tears.
     A word in Spanish,
     A word in Spanish.

If you can’t comprehend,
Read it in my eyes.
If you don’t understand it’s love
In a thin disguise.

And what it takes to move you,
Each time that you resist,
Is more than just a pretty face
To prove that I exist.

   If I only could tell you,
   If you only would listen,
   I’ve got a line or two to use on you,
   I’ve got a romance we could christen.

Chorus:
     And there’s a word in Spanish
     I don’t understand.
     But I heard it in a film
     One time spoken by the leading man.
     He said it with devotion,
     He sounded so sincere.
     And the words he spoke in Spanish
     Brought the female lead to tears.
     A word in Spanish,
     A word in Spanish.

Bridge:
   When manners make no difference,
   And my gifts all lay undone.
   I trade my accent in on chance
   And fall back on a foreign tongue.

Chorus:
     And there’s a word in Spanish
     I don’t understand.
     But I heard it in a film
     One time spoken by the leading man.
     He said it with devotion,
     He sounded so sincere.
     And the words he spoke in Spanish
     Brought the female lead to tears.
     Oh, a word in Spanish,
     Ooh, ooh, a word in Spanish.
     There’s a word in Spanish.
     Ooh, ooh, a word in Spanish.
