Language of LoveHeart

Released: August 20, 1983

Songwriter: Nancy Wilson (Heart) Sue Ennis Ann Wilson

Producer: Keith Olsen

I been trying a long long time
To write a love letter, perfect lines
What I want to say is hard to find
No cliches or tired rhymes
But words turn on me
Hard as I try
It's your look of love
I can't describe

I'll use the language of love
You'll understand what I say
Words are never enough
The language of love is the only way

Bad bad heartaches
When I'm alone
Fighting with feelings
I've never known
Scared and lonely
Half gone mad
'Cos I need what I just can't have
I write a love letter like a kiss in the night
I wanna tell it to you, just right

I'll use the language of love
You'll understand what I say
Words are never enough
The language of love is the only way

I need love so very bad
You're the best I ever had
I need to say I need to show
In the way only lovers know

I'll use the language of love
You'll understand what I say
Words are never enough
The language of love is the only way

I'll use the language of love
You'll understand what I say
Words are never enough
The language of love is the only way

Heart

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
