Words
Words are words, just meant to be
Words are words, for you to feel and see
Words are words, never enough
Words are words, for people at them laugh
Words are words, for you to hear
Words are words, for you to fear
Words are words, that bring you joy
Words are words, that we all employ
Words are words, for you to use
Words are words, free for all to abuse
Words are words, to bring you tears
Words are words, a smile they can smear
Words are words, for you to believe
Words are words, you use to deceive
Words are words, to show you love
Words are words, that to all we shove
Words are words, that leave you tongue tied
Words are words, with which you have lied
Words are words, with which you sneer
Words are words, to some, very dear
Words are words, to fool your mind
Words are words, you follow them blind
Words are words, to make others trust
Words are words, that you let them rust
Words are words, for you to play
Words are words, we fall their prey
Words are words, we all like to hear
Words are words, never get to see them clear
Words are words, we lay all our hopes on
Words are words, with them we also drown
Words are words, for just you and me
Words are words, very precious to be
Words are words, don't lead me to see
Words are words, that you cannot make be
Words are words, to me mean a whole lot
Words are words, prove them with what you got
Words are words, a shoulder to me that you lend
Words are words, to them there's never an end
