More Than Words
Tahta Menezes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you to
Not to say it, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
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 di da, blah di da da dada)
(Lad di da da di 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
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 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 di da da di da di da da da)
More than words
More than words
(La di da da di da di da da da)
More than words
More than words
