True Love (Nobody Knows How to Talk About)

from A Little Romance by Jeff Smith

/

lyrics

True Love

How come everybody seems to understand you
When you talk about the things that you want to do
We talk about work and the money we make
We talk all day 'how much the governments takes
We could tell our secrets to total strangers
But talk about love and we start to clam up
Cause nobody knows how to talk about true love

We talk about our families and where we were born
We talk about leaving and how we are torn
We talk about lovers and the way they kiss
And the expectations that seem to miss
Cause we're always expecting fantasies
But nobody knows how to talk about true love

Well I'm lying on the floor with a fever to know
The secret of romance and the incandescent glow
The power of illusion that can lead you astray
Holds no candle to true love ways
But nobody knows how to talk about true love

I was talking to the loneliest boy in the world
He said he was looking for a lucky girl
He said there's got to be someone out there for me
Someone who can love what I'm about to be
Cause nobody knows how to talk about true love
