Words Lyrics - Curt Smith

To t.v. screens and complex books 

My inner world of reason looks 

To try to feel or touch the things you see 

With a face and voice so serious 

Words so detached in spite of us 

You overjustify how you feel 

And every line makes perfect sense 

You've long rehearsed this circumstance 

Words don't say enough 

Silence is your best defense 

Words don't say enough 

So many years the time has flown 

The ups and downs the world we've grown 

accustomed to 

Has given us our share 

But I never thought we'd come to this 

When face to face we can't exist 

There's no use trying to find what's not there 

You think you've had the final say 

But that was over yesterday 

Words don't say enough 

Words come cheap so don't explain 

Words don't say enough 

Speak the language of love 

Tell it straight from your heart 

Take a chance and open up 

Let the message ring clear 

You've got nothing to fear 

Tell it like it is 

Open up your heart and mind 

Thoughts and feelings realign 

You've got yours and I've got mine 

Enough's enough, enough's enough 

Enough's enough 

So take a chance and open up 

Speak the language of love 

Tell it straight from your heart 

Take a chance and open up 

Let the message ring clear 

You've got nothing to fear 

Tell it like it is 

Open up your heart and mind 

Thoughts and feelings realign 

You've got yours and I've got mine 

Word's don't say enough 

What is wrong with your life 

Take a look down deep inside 

Love is going back in time 

Words don't say enough 

To t.v. screens and complex books 

My inner world of reason looks 

With a face and voice so serious 

You overjustify how you feel
