[Verse 1]
You've got my heart in unfamiliar territory
It's never been out here on my sleeve
But here tonight with you it's quite a different story
You bring out a side of me no one has ever seen

[Verse 2]
There's something I'm afraid to say to you too early
But I'd be a fool to wait too late
My mind is cautious but my heart is in a hurry
Which one's right, it's really hard to say

[Chorus]
In other words
I can't put "I love you" in other words
When I look into your eyes
No other words can capture what I'm feeling
My heart tells my head some things can't be said
In other words
Better men than I have tried to find a better phrase
Still "I love you" has a ring I've never heard
In other words

[Verse 3]
What we've got here is a touching situation
You smile as if you've read my mind
A pair of "I love you's" gently ends this conversation
'Cause matters of the heart can't be defined
[Chorus]
In other words
I can't put "I love you" in other words
When I look into your eyes
No other words can capture what I'm feeling
My heart tells my head some things can't be said
In other words
Better men than I have tried to find a better phrase
Still "I love you" has a ring I've never heard
In other words
