  • You want to give your love away
    And end up giving nothing
    I'm not surprised, that your black eyes are gazing

    You say that love is everything
    And what we need the most of
    I wish you knew, that's just how true my love was

    No words for my love
    You're burning love, sweet burning love
    It's deep inside,
    You mustn't hide, your burning love
    Sweet burning love, your burning love

    You want to turn your head away
    And someone's thinking of you
    I wish you'd see, it's only me, I love you

    No words for my love Writer/s: PAUL MCCARTNEY

  • IsaI know we can only guess, but I'd bet that "It's only me" is one of those "few lines in the last verse" that Paul added. Because it's a phrase that does have a lot of meaning in Paul's mind, since he has mentioned so many times how John used to say that whenever they argued and got a bit tense. How he would lower his specs to remind him: "It's only me".

    According to his own words: "That phrase keeps coming back to me all the time. ‘It’s only me.’ It’s became a mantra in my mind."

    Anyway, this is such a good song, it's one of my top 3 favorites on the album. I never get tired of listening to the "You're burning love" part as it gets higher and higher. Denny is underrated.
  • Scott from NjPaul wrote 1/3 or 1/2 of it so I does sound like a Paul song. I think he wrote the middle part and possibly the guitar riff and helped Denny with song lyrics. Dual composition.
  • Don from Sevierville, TnI wonder if the "burning love" part was a reference to the Elvis Presley song "Burning Love" from 1972?
  • Claudio Antonio Guerrero from Sao Paulo - BrasilNo Words sounds as the first songs written by John and Paul. A great song and a nice surprising on Denny's composition.
  • Buddy from Branford, CtWow...sure fooled me! I had no idea Denny wrote this??? Sounds like a McCartney song!!! Doesn't it folks???
