more than words








Extreme made things new when they unplugged their amps and got the funk out to show us how they felt with this subdued serenade. 'More Than Words' was a departure from the heavy metal funk that dominated most of their music. Band songwriters Nuno Bettencourt and Gary Cherone let their rhythm section sit this one out. Gary sings and Nuno plays acoustic guitar and harmonizes. It was their sensitive side that dominated the charts.





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
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

More than words

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

More than words
