Lyrics More Than Words

More Than Words by Extreme is about how actions speak louder than words in expressing love. Released in 1990, it became an international hit, showcasing the bands ability to perform ballads in addition to their usual heavy rock sound.

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
Ho-ow ea-sy
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 'cos
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


Now that I've tried to
Talk to you and make you understand
All that 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 'cos
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
