[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Words like violence break the silence
Come crashing in into my little world
Painful to me, pierce right through me
Can't you understand? Oh, my little girl

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Vows are spoken to be broken
Feelings are intense, words are trivial
Pleasures remain, so does the pain
Words are meaningless and forgettable

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore, (audience), "Dave Gahan"]
(All I ever wanted)
(All I ever needed is) Here in my arms
(Words are very unnecessary)
They can only do harm "Yeah, that's right!"

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
"Alright!" Come on, let's hear it!"

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore (audience), "Dave Gahan"]
(All I ever wanted)
(All I ever needed) Is here in my arms
(Words are very unnecessary)
They can only do harm
(All I ever wanted)
(All I ever needed is) Here in my arms
(Words are very unnecessary)
They can only do harm
"Alright!"

[Interlude: Dave Gahan, (audience)]
"One, two, three, four!"
"Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, mister Martin L.! (Gore!)
