Rollin’ off your tongue 
Passin’ through your lips 
Words are only words 
Without some feeling they can’t be heard 
You gotta say it like you mean it ‘
Cause I can tell by the tone in your voice 
If you want me to believe it 
You gotta say it like you mean it 
Racin’ through your head 
Carefully you choose 
The words sent to my ears 
They’re so empty and insincere 
Wanna hear, loud and clear 
Wanna hear, loud and clear 
You gotta say it like you mean it ‘
Cause I can tell by the tone in your voice 
If you want me to believe it 
You gotta say it like you mean it 
Say it like you mean it 
In a way you have before 
A lot has come between us 
Speak up to save us or the rest’ll take us down 
Rollin’ off your tongue 
Passin’ through your lips 
Words are only words 
Without some feeling they can’t be heard 
Wanna hear, loud and clear 
You gotta say it like you mean it ‘
Cause I can tell by the tone in your voice 
If you want me to believe it 
You gotta say it like you mean it 
You gotta say it like you mean it 
Words are only words 
You gotta say it like you mean it 
Words are only words
