Words! Words! Words!

"Show me!"

Words! Words! Words!
I'm so sick of words!
I get words all day through;
First from him,
Now from you!
Is that all you blighters can do?

Don't talk of stars burning above.
If you're in love,
Show me!
Tell me no dreams
Filled with desire.
If you're on fire,
Show me!

Here we are together
In the middle of the night!
Don't talk of spring
Just hold me tight!
Anyone who's ever been
In love'll tell you that
This is no time for a chat!

Haven't your lips
Longed for my touch?
Don't say how much;
Show me! Show me!
Don't talk of love
Lasting through time.
Make me no undying vow.
Show me now.

Sing me no song!
Read me no rhyme!
Don't waste my time;
Show me!
Don't talk of June!
Don't talk of fall!
Don't talk at all;
Show me!

Never do I ever want
To hear another word.
There isn't one I haven't heard.
Here we are together in
What ought to be a dream;
Say one more word
And I'll scream!

Haven't your arms
Hungered for mine?
Please don't expl'in;
Show me! Show me!
Don't wait until wrinkles and lines
Pop out all over my brow.
Show me now.
