Words
Renée Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me a little Closer (Closer)
Pay Attention only to me
You'll find that you will be happier
With your time
Spent here with me

Oooh Oooh
When I can't say a word , say a word
I say ooooh oooooh
When I cant say a word, say a word

Tell me Im beautiful (beautiful)
Tell me it will only be
Affirm what Im doing
By the words you speak to me

oooh
Since you came into my life
Ive been strung out
Ive been damn near crack-ish over you
I try to maintain
Try to keep my focus
But sometimes I cant say words
Cant say a word

So I say
Oooh Oooh
When I can't say a word , say a word




I say ooooh oooooh
When I cant say a word, say a word

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the singer is asking their partner to hold them closer and pay attention only to them. They believe that by doing so, they will be happier and have a more fulfilling time together. The repetition of "say a word" in the chorus suggests that there may be times when the singer is unable to express themselves verbally, and in such moments, they hope their partner will understand their needs without needing explicit communication.


Moving on to the second verse, the singer desires affirmation from their partner. They want to be told that they are beautiful and reassured that their actions are appreciated. The lyrics imply that since their partner entered their life, the singer feels a strong emotional dependency on them. They use the metaphor of being strung out or addicted to convey the intensity of their feelings. The singer admits to sometimes struggling to stay focused and maintain their composure, which leads to difficulty in expressing themselves.


The chorus repeats the earlier theme of not being able to verbally communicate in certain situations. The repeated "oooh" serves as an outlet for the emotions the singer is unable to put into words. It suggests a longing for understanding and connection with their partner, even when they are unable to express themselves fully.


Overall, the song "Words" by Renée emphasizes the importance of non-verbal communication and understanding in a relationship. It highlights that there may be times when words fall short and the singer relies on their partner's ability to comprehend their emotions and needs without explicit communication. Through these lyrics, Renée captures the vulnerability and desire for connection that can arise in romantic relationships.
