He told her that he loved her but he knew it wasn't true
He only wanted someone who would serve as a substitute
But it didn't take long before his plan was compromised
When she looked behind the curtain of his lies, and realized sometimes
That our actions speak louder-louder than words
The things they see drown out the things that are heard
The words "I love you" seem so absurd
When our actions speak louder
He said, "It's 'cause I love you that I do what I do"
He said, "It's just my special way of showing how much I care for you"
He said, "Don't tell nobody what's been goin' on"
And this child may not recover from this so-called love that's being shown
Our actions speak louder-louder than words
The things they see drown out the things that are heard
The words "I love you" seem so absurd
When our actions speak louder

Why do we hide behind empty words and alibis?
Love is more than the way we feel-it's the way we choose to live and the life we choose to give
She said "I love my children with all my heart and soul"
But given her behavior, all those empty words were getting old
And so I am sure you can imagine her surprise
When all at once, she had become the author of her own demise
