these two lines are what I'm gonna call the "intro line". 
play it once for intro. 
play it again for the first part of verse 
"Sayin 'I love you' is not the words I want to hear from you 
It's not that I want you, not to say but if you only knew" 
on "knew", instead of playing the last eigth note in the intro line, you play 
  0- |  instead of    3- |

lyrics: 
verse 1 
Sayin "I love you" is not the words I want to hear from you 
It's not that I want you not to say but if you only knew 
how easy it would be to show me how you feel 
more than words is all you have to do to make it real 
then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 
'cause I'd already know 
 
chorus 
What would you do 
if my heart was torn in two? 
more than words to show you feel 
that your love for me is real 
What would you say 
if I took those words away? 
Then you couldn't make things new 
just by sayin' "I love you" 
la di da da da di da da di da..etc... 
verse 2 
Now that I have tried to talk to you and make you understand 
all you have to do is close your eyes and just reach out your hands 
and touch me, hold me close don't ever let me go 
more than words is all i ever needed you to show 
then you wouldn't have to say 
that you love me 'cause I'd already know.
