Extreme —
More Than Words

Lyrics and Music by Nuno Bettencourt and Gary Cherone

Saying “I love you”
Is not the words I want to hear from you.
It’s not that I want you not to say,
But if you only knew
How easy it would be
To show me how you feel.

Chorus:
     More than words
     Is all you have to do to make it real.
     Then you wouldn’t have to say
     That you love me,
     ‘Cause I’d already know.

     What would you do
     If my heart was torn in two?
     More than words to show you feel
     That your love for me is real.
     What would you say
     If I took those words away?
     Then you couldn’t make things new
     Just by saying “I love you.”

     La, dee, da, la, dee, da,
     Dee, dai, dai, da.
     More than words.
     La, dee, da, dai, da.

Now that I’ve tried to
Talk to you and make you understand,
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands
And touch me.
Hold me close, don’t ever let me go.

Chorus:
     More than words
     Is all I ever needed you to show.
     Then you wouldn’t have to say
     That you love me,
     ‘Cause I’d already know.

     What would you do, what would you do
     If my heart was torn in two?
     More than words to show you feel
     That your love for me is real.
     What would you say
     If I took those words away?
     Then you couldn’t make things new
     Just by saying “I love you.”

     La, dee, da, dai, dai,
     Dee, dai, dai, da.
     More than words.
     La, dee, da, dai, dai,
     Dee, dai, dai, da.
     More than words.
     La, dee, dai, dai, dai, dee, dai, dai.
     La, la, di, dai, dai da.
     La, da, da, dai, da. La, la, la, da…
     More than words.
     Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo.
     More than words…
