Couldn't Have Said It Better Lyrics
And you said nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
Little lady, I think there's something on your mind
I've known you long enough to know
The words are not that hard to find
And the harder you try and the longer you go
Well there's nothing but love in those eyes any more
You know what to say but you never know how
You can keep your mouth shut because it doesn't really matter right now
I will guide you all the way
Because I know exactly what you're trying to say
You have the right to remain silent
I'll get the lights ... you get that smile
And you say nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
I see the angels, they're standing right outside your door
[Girl:] They're watching over me, they're watching over us all
You can send them home tonight, because you won't need them anymore
[Girl:] In your arms I think I've found the safest place to fall
When I step in the door and I stare at your face
There are so many things that I wish I could say
Well I struggle with words but they put up a fight
You can keep your mouth shut, because it doesn't really matter tonight
I will guide you all the way
Because I know exactly what you're trying to say
[Girl:] You have the right to remain silent
I'll get the lights ...
You get that smile
And you say nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
And I know you feel the same
You've been searching for the words,
Now you know what to say
Just say nothing
Don't say a word
Silence is gold
Don't say a word
This is the moment we've been waiting for
[Girl:] If I exercise my right
I will take your body language and hold it against you tonight
And I know you feel the same
I've wondered all my life, if this moment comes would I know what to say
Then you say nothing at all
[Girl:] So many times I stumbled on the words I wnated to say
Then you say nothing at all
[Girl:] So many thoughts, that I should have just let my heart explain
Then you say nothing at all
[Girl:] So many ways we could turn the words around
Then you say nothing at all
[Girl:] So many nights aour hearts came crashing to the ground
Then you say nothing at all
[Girl:] So many dreams that are finally coming true
Well, I couldn't have said it better myself
[Girl:] Now you finish me off when you finish my thoughts the way you do
You say nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
I've known you long enough to know
The words are not that hard to find
Well there's nothing but love in those eyes any more
You know what to say but you never know how
You can keep your mouth shut because it doesn't really matter right now
Because I know exactly what you're trying to say
I'll get the lights ... you get that smile
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
[Girl:] They're watching over me, they're watching over us all
You can send them home tonight, because you won't need them anymore
[Girl:] In your arms I think I've found the safest place to fall
When I step in the door and I stare at your face
There are so many things that I wish I could say
Well I struggle with words but they put up a fight
You can keep your mouth shut, because it doesn't really matter tonight
Because I know exactly what you're trying to say
[Girl:] You have the right to remain silent
I'll get the lights ...
You get that smile
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
You've been searching for the words,
Now you know what to say
Don't say a word
Silence is gold
Don't say a word
[Girl:] If I exercise my right

im in love with this song. and meat loaf. i want to marry him.
This song has got too be one of meat's best! It catches that whole attitude that comes with any of his songs.
its saying that expressions and actions can mean much more than words
I love this song!!!! Its just saying that sometimes the best thing you can do is say nothing, and that when your in a relationship, you don't always need to talk because you know what each other are thinking. Also I love the video to this, it is simple but great!
Like many of Meat's songs, it sounds like a not-so-subtle reference for some extremely passionate love making.
When there's one thing two lovers want (sex), the tension in the air can be so thick that mere words can totally ruin the moment. "Tonight the conversation takes the fall" can back this up, as well as "I'll get the lights, you get that smile".
I love Meat Loaf duets. His ladies always have such charged voices!
This is my favorite song by Meat Loaf that Jim Steinman didn't write.......The duet is amazing!!
