Words Are Not Enough (song version)

Words Are Not Enough 

(song version)

January 16, 2004


It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me


I need to feel it; you need to show it

Knowing is not enough if the feeling isn't there

Love needs to be expressed; needs to be shown


It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me


More than just a word; more than just a phrase

If all you do is speak it, how do you share it?

Repeating the phrase every day; never backing them with actions


It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me


I'm here day by day; though sometimes you don't see me

I try to get you to see me; to notice that I'm here

I cry, you look, give a kiss then turn away


It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me


words are not enough; but that is what you give

You don't understand why I act like I do

Can't understand why; why I don't want to stay


It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me


~ Shawna K. Whaley
