Remember when we first met
I was so excited just to get
To know you, to know you
I was just a little bit shy
God willing I was ready to try
To show you, to try to show you
Feelin' a little funny but it was really no joke
I only wanted to only to prove my love
In every word that I spoke
But the action speaks louder
The action speaks louder than the words
The action, louder than the words
I loved you just the way you were
Somehow I had to find the nerve to tell you
Oh, baby just to tell you
So I did what a man must do
I walked right over to you
And I was asking, baby, let's go dancing
I felt a little guilty but I had committed no crime
I wanted to love you, love you
And love you for a long, long time
But the action speaks louder
You know the action speaks louder than the words
The action, so much louder
You know the action speaks louder than the words
Oh, I can't wait until I'm holding you
And there's no doubt in your mind
You're the one and only one for me
Only one for me, yeah
I'm gonna prove my love, no matter how long that it takes
'Cos the feelings that I have for you girl, they're no mistake
But the action speaks louder
The action speaks louder than the words
The action, so much louder, yes
The action speaks louder than the words
The action, louder than the words
The action, louder than the words
The action, louder than the words
Oh, the action, louder than the words
Louder than the words
