[Verse 1]
My love she speaks like silence
With no ideals or violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet, she's true like ice, like fire

[Verse 2]
People carry roses
Make promises by the hour
My love laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her

[Verse 3]
In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall

[Verse 4]
Some speak of the future
My love she speaks softly
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
My love she speaks like silence
With no ideals or violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet, she's true like ice, like fire

[Verse 6]
People carry roses
Make promises by the hour
My love laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her

[Outro]
Valentines can't buy her
Valentines can't buy her
Valentines can't buy her
