He Can't Talk Without His Hands Lyrics - Singles - Lace

(Giselle Brohman/Jason Barry) 

There's a little two-room house just outside of town 

With a little picket fence and the blinds pulled down 

A wife with two young kids 

She sees them off to bed 

As she waits for her husband to come home 

Lately she's been doing a lot of thinking 

About the arguments and why she's hurting 

Is it worth the extra mile 

To hang on for a little while 

When she's had all the heartache she can stand 

And her mama's words still echo in her head 

Girl, he can't talk without his hands 

What's made you stay this long I don't understand 

If you leave now you might still have a chance 

'Cause girl, he can't talk without his hands 

There's a little two-room house just a few miles down 

The little girl's grown up and she's married now 

Tears on a window pane 

With a baby on the way 

As she waits for her husband to come home 

She calls her mama up on the telephone 

She says it's getting dark and I'm all alone 

Can we talk for a little while 

Mama says what's the matter child 

But she knows that her baby's been misled 

And her mama's words still echo in her head 

She said, girl, he can't talk without his hands 

What's made you stay this long I don't understand 

If you leave now you might still have a chance 

'Cause girl, he can't talk without his hands
