Song meaning of More Than Words by Extreme
The singer of "More Than Words" wants his sweetheart to show him more than just a simple "I love you." It was a warning that the term was losing its significance, according to Bettencourt: "People use it so lightly and so easily that they think you can say that and everything would be okay or that you can say that and everything will fix itself. There are several ways to express "I love you," but sometimes you have to put in more effort and demonstrate it."
"More Than Words" peaked at number one in 1991, having debuted at number 81 on the US Billboard Hot 100. In addition, it peaked at number one in four more countries and at number two in the United Kingdom.
More Than Words lyrics by Extreme
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,
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
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di dai, dai dai, di dai dai da
La la di da da da
La di dai dai da
La la da da
More than words
Oooh uuuuh uuuh
Uuh
More than words
