Words
Jessica Mauboy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smile an everlasting smile a smile could bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you're gone cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory let's start a brand new story now my love
Right now there'll be no other time and I can show you all my love

Talk an everlasting words and dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my love I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean a single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away

You think that I don't even mean a single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away




It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away
It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jessica Mauboy's song "Words" seem to be about the power of communication in a relationship, specifically through words and smiles. The first couple of lines encourage the listener to smile, with the implication that it could help bring them closer to the singer. The following lines convey a sense of desperation and fear at the idea of the listener leaving the singer. The repetition of "everlasting" suggests a desire for permanence and stability in the relationship, but the fear of loss threatens that.


The second verse speaks to the significance of words in communication, with the singer pledging to give their love in return for the listener's words dedicated to them. However, there is also a sense of doubt and insecurity, with the singer questioning whether or not the listener believes their words. The repetition of "It's only words" suggests that, despite the uncertainty, communication is still crucial in their relationship.


Overall, the lyrics seem to be emphasizing the importance of both emotional and verbal communication in a relationship, as well as the fragility of those connections.

The best discovered artist of the 21st century, she sings so purely and when I first heard her sing, I didn't even know she was from Australia cause her voice hides the accent !, May God Bless You Jessica Mauboy and may you continue on and become the world's greatest artist ever !
