Words Unspoken

[Verse 1: Roger Hodgson]

Why sing a lonely song?

The whole world knows that love goes wrong

Why bruise a heart that isn't broken?

It isn't broken, it can't be broken

[Verse 2: Roger Hodgson]

Life's just a show for free

Come along and watch with me

The only sins are words unspoken

Words unspoken, never spoken

[Verse 3: Roger Hodgson]

Sweet things come and go

Give me shame, I'll give you woe

To live for love isn't so easy

It isn't easy, it won't be easy

[Verse 4: Roger Hodgson]

How all good men try

Look around and wonder why

Can they shape this world to please me?

Can they please me? Should they please me?

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson]

And follow, and maybe you'll correct me

I wish you'd never met me

For I am no gentleman

Follow and while you watch and wonder

I pull the world asunder

And show you who I am

[Verse 5: Roger Hodgson]

Send me a gentle dream

Of love so strange it's never seen

And prove how such a love can happen

It can happen, make it happen

[Verse 6: Roger Hodgson]

Fine things don't abound

Fade away without a sound

But hope must never end or slacken

Never slacken, never slacken

[Chorus: Roger Hodgson]

And follow, and maybe you'll correct me

I wish you'd never met me

I am no gentleman

And follow, and while you watch and wonder

I'll pull the world asunder

And show you who I am
