Lyrics
Words of love, so soft and tender
Won't win a girl's heart anymore
If you love her then you must send her
Somewhere where she's never been before
Worn out phrases and longing gazes
Won't get you where you want to go (No)
Words of love, soft and tender won't win her
You oughta know by now
(You oughta know by now)
You oughta know (You oughta know)
You oughta know by now
(You oughta know by now)
Words of love, soft and tender won't win her anymore
You oughta know by now
(You oughta know by now)
You oughta know (You oughta know)
You oughta know by now
(You oughta know by now)
Words of love, soft and tender won't win a girl's heart anymore
If you love her then you must send her
Somewhere where she's never been before
Worn out phrases and longing gazes
Won't get you where you want to go
Words of love, soft and tender won't win her anymore
Anymore
