“More Than Words” is a single from Extreme’s 1990 album Extreme II: Pornograffiti. It was written by Nuno Bettencourt & Gary Cherone.
According to Nuno Bettencourt, the song is described as a warning that the phrase ‘I love you’ was becoming meaningless, stating:
People use it so easily and so...
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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"
[Post-Chorus]
Da-de-da-la-de-da
La-de-dei-dei-dei
More than words
Da-de-da-la-de-da
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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"
[Post-Chorus]
Da-de-da-la-de-da
La-de-dei-dei-dei
More than words
Da-de-da-la-de-da
La-de-dei-dei-dei
More than words
La-de-dei-dei-dei
La-de-dei-dei-dei
La-de-dei-dei-dei
More than words
More than words
[Outro]
