Lyrics

Words
They cut like a knife
Cut into my life
I don't wanna hear your words
They always attack
Please take them all back
If they're yours, I don't want anymore
You think you're so smart
You try to
Manipulate me
You try to
Humiliate with your words
You think you're so chic
You write me
Beautiful letters
You think you're
So much better than me
But your actions
Speak louder than words
And they're only words unless they're true
Your actions
Speak louder than promises
You're inclined to make
And inclined to break
Words
They cut like a knife
Cut into my life
I don't wanna hear your words
They always attack
Please take them all back
If they're yours, I don't want anymore
You think you're so shrewd
You try to
Bring me low
You try to
Gain control with your words
But your actions
Speak louder than words
And they're only words unless they're true
Your actions
Speak louder than promises
You're inclined to make
And inclined to break
Words
They cut like a knife
Cut into my life
I don't wanna hear your words
They always attack
Please take them all back
If they're yours, I don't want anymore
Friends, they tried to warn me about you
He has good manners
He's so romantic
But he'll only make you blue
How can I explain to them?
How could they know
I'm in love with your words?
Your words
You think you're so sly
I caught you at your game
You will not
Bring me shame with your words
But your actions
Speak louder than words
And they're only words unless they're true
Your actions
Speak louder than promises
You're inclined to make
And inclined to break
Words
They cut like a knife
Cut into my life
I don't wanna hear your words
They always attack
Please take them all back
If they're yours, I don't want anymore
Too much
Blinding light
Your touch
I've grown tired of your words
Words
Words
A linguistic form that can meaningfully be spoken in isolation
(Words)
Conversation
Expression
(Give, give, give, give, give, give, give)
A promise, a sigh
(Give, give, give, give, give, give, give)
In short, a lie
(Give, give, give, give, give, give, give)
A message from Heaven
A signal from hell
(Give, give, give, give, give, give, give)
I give you my word
I'll never tell
Language that is used in anger
(Words, too much)
Personal feelings signalling danger
(Words, strike me down)
A brief remark, an utterance
(Words, your touch)
Information
(Words, I feel tired of your words)
Don't mince words
Don't be evasive
Speak your mind
Be persuasive
A pledge
A commitment
Communication
Words
Written by: Madonna, Shep Pettibone
