Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Don't tell me you love me I've heard it before The words have no meaning I need to have more Don't tell me you need me That might not be true For words without substance Mean less than they do Actions speak louder than words I know what you're saying But, I haven't heard You have to show more In a physical way You've got to show actions If you want me to stay If I hear "I'm sorry" again I will show you the door dear "I'm sorry" is empty, vacant, a veldt It's not what I need, It's what you think I should hear Show me some actions Back up what you say After all, words mean nothing They're just the script for this play Show me you love me Don't just say "I do" I want you to mean it Show me something new The words have no feeling The emotion is gone It's like you're reading the lyrics To a music-less song Actions speak louder than words I can hear what you're saying But, with no meaning it hurts I need reinforcement, it's simple you see Because Actions speak louder than words So show me you love me Don't tell me again Your words have a hollow, dead sound So show me with actions, that I am the one If you want to keep me around
