Saying I love you, is not the words I want to hear from you
Its not that I don't 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 loved 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

Now that I try to
Talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do
Is close your eyes and just reach out your hand

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
More than words
More than words

    one of those timeless songs that is perpetually true...just saying something doesn't actually mean you feel it, you gotta demonstrate how you feel..one of those actions speak louder than words things :)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
