Words got me in and out of trouble

As a young dumb kid before I learned

How to hold 'em and control 'em

It's a battle every day to not say

Words like hate, words like can't

Don't do a thing for nobody

Like the words that you pray, words that you say

Now that you love somebody

It starts with hey and what's your name and whatcha doin' later on?

Just a few turns into a million of 'em on the phone

When the three that count come out, it sounds so good, it hurts

Then it's a will you, it's an I do, love you, forever for better or worse

Words

Words that you never meant to say, you were mad

Now you're trying to take back words

With I'm sorry and forgive me

It's a part of making this thing work

With words like faith, words like grace

Words that'll make you wanna wake up

Word like love, words like trust

Words like you and me make up

It starts with hey and what's your name and whatcha doin' later on?

Just a few turns into a million of 'em on the phone

When the three that count come out, it sounds so good, it hurts

Then it's a will you, it's an I do, love you, forever for better or worse

Words

One day, there's gonna be words written in stone that define me

Oh, and hers on a headstone right beside me

It starts with hey and what's your name and whatcha doin' later on?

Just a few turns into a million of 'em on the phone

When the three that count come out, it sounds so good, it hurts

Then it's a will you, it's an I do, love you, forever for better or worse

Words, yeah, words

Oh, those words, woah
