LOUDER THAN WORDS You know it gets so loud it's almost deafening I see your pretty smile, I hear the songs you sing You know it gets so loud it's really quite absurd I see your lips move but your actions speak louder than words I guess I understand I know she's so confused I know I rant and rave, she sits so bemused Starts to pour the wine, her speech is already slurred She says it's not a crutch but her actions speak louder than words I'm not the one to judge, I'm barely standing up I feel so incomplete, she says I fill her cup It's time for bed, turn out the light she purred She says we're all alone but her actions speak louder than words It's the thought that counts, it doesn't count too high She says when all else fails, I'll give the truth a try But for now she'll tell those lies that every lover's heard Lover's just a old cliche and actions speak louder than words
