[Verse 1] Saying "I love you" Is not the words I want to hear from you It's not that I want you Not to say, but if you only knew How easy it would be to show me how you feel [Pre-Chorus] More than words Is all you have to do to make it real Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'Cause I'd already know [Chorus] What would you do If my heart was torn in two? More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real What would you say If I took those words away? Then you couldn't make things new Just by saying, "I love you" [Post-Chorus] Da-de-da-la-de-da La-de-dei-dei-dei More than words Da-de-da-la-de-da [Verse 2]Now that I've tried to Talk to you and make you understand All you have to do is close your eyes And just reach out your hands And touch me, hold me close, don't ever let me go [Pre-Chorus]More than words Is all I ever needed you to show Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'Cause I'd already know

I went to the studio that night because Extreme would perform. So excited..until I found out they taped this performance earlier that afternoon. Such a bummer 🙈🤣

[@r.maj.7065]

Ohh, Debb - you are so gorgeous beauty.

[@alexandra-fu7oq]

I just saw them live 3 days ago and can’t get over how incredible these guys are live. Gary is 62 and was all over the stage showing some amazing flexibility and sounding as good as ever. And Nuno, well what can I say??? He is still absolute perfection. I was in awe and had a huge grin on my face when I wasn’t singing. I want to repeat the experience again, over and over.

[@LogiForce86]

Born in 1986 I grew up in these years. It was a blast indeed, although I sometimes wish I would've been born in the early 80s maybe late 70s instead just so I could enjoy these during my teens instead.

I was born in the 70’s and I wish all you guys were there to witness everything.

Same. I was also aged 7 in 1991. Two months after my first day at school Freddie Mercury passed away, then in the April 1992 it was the tribute concert at Wembley when I got to know about Extreme. Words cannot express the spirit of that time and everything that happened back then. More than words indeed. Those who haven't experienced that, wouldn't understand.
