American English

here comes my one and only

talking like a starlet on a hollywood screen

she whispers something to me

I hear the words but I don't know what she means



oh she speaks american english

oh don't always understand

though she speaks american english

got the language of love

at her command



love travels transatlantic

I'm hot and bothered by her figure of speech

can't follow her semantics

but when her body moves it's clear to me



chorus



we don't need words

to express what is real

we've got each other

that says everything that we feel



there's too much damn confusion

with all this talking going round and round

we'll reach our own conclusion

we'll make connection on the common ground



chorus



she speaks american english

she speaks the language of love

she speaks american english
