M.I.A. - Words

Chorus:

Words, they cut like a knife
Cut into my life
I don`t want to 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

Bridge:

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

(chorus)

You think you`re so shrewd
You try to bring me low
You try to gain control with your words

(bridge)
(chorus)

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

(bridge)
(chorus)

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
Conversation, expression, a promise, a sigh
In short, a lie
A message from heaven, a signal from hell
I give you my word I`ll never tell
Language that is used in anger
Personal feelings signaling danger
A brief remark, an utterance, information
Don`t mince words, don`t be evasive
Speak your mind, be persuasive
A pledge, a commitment, communication, words
