I wish I could talk about hurricanes
Or earthquakes and troubles or my mistakes
But I can't
'Cause I don't speak English, man!

I'm thinking if the danger I felt
I would do a lot to save myself
But I can't
'Cause I don't speak English, man!

Well, listen up, babe, there is no surprise
When I tell you everything, I'm not willing to lie (hide)
But you can't understand what I say for real
All I really (ever) wanna show is how (the way) I feel

But I don't speak English
Because I am not British
But I don't speak English
Because I am not British

I wish I could get a girl
To have fun and a bit of a thrill
But I can't
'Cause I don't speak English, man!

I'm thinking if I travel to Germany
I will have the change of getting free
But I can't
'Cause I don't speak English, man!
