Actions Without Love Lyrics

He ran a marathon
He didn't quite finish
He didn't quite cross the finish line
Actions without love
It never really crossed his mind

He sure got the accent down
And he sure can swoon the ladies
And ya know
One day he'll learn
Actions without love
Actions without love
The whole bloody language

She pulled out her chequebook
She asked what the date was
She had to double-check
Actions without love
Actions without love
She had to have an audience
Actions without love
Actions without love

Love.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This one's for my hubby who loves this song and was dissapointed there were no comments.

The first stanza is about half-hearted efforts that don't quite get their goal accomplished. The second is about the misapplication of love. An abuse of what should be beautiful for selfish ends. The third is about generosity and giving that is motivated by self-exaltation. She had to double check, see if it fit her schedule, life, capacity, willingness to give. It was obviously not a priority, or maybe she was looking for a way out, an excuse to hold back. But afterall, she would reason, deluding herself or just lying to others? that if she could she would have given, helped, sacrificed.

All of them are displaying actions that appear to be virtuous but they are like clashing symbols - without love.
