More Than Words by Extreme is featured in Shooting Star, the eighteenth episode of Season Four. It is sung by Sam and Brittany with the New Directions singing back-up.
Sam comes up with the idea to bring Lord Tubbington to school so the Glee Club, especially Sam and Brittany, can sing a song to tell Lord Tubbington how much Brittany loves him. As Sam plays the guitar, the lights in the auditorium light up the stage as Brittany is seated opposite him on a stool. New Directions starts entering the auditorium, holding candles, and lighting each one with a flame. Sam sings as Brittany joins the duet eventually with New Directions helping with back-up. The New Directions seem to be confused as Brittany serenades her cat.
Lyrics[]
Sam:
Saying '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
Brittany and Sam:
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
Sam with New Directions:
What would you do
Brittany with New Directions:
If my heart was torn in two
Brittany and Sam with New Directions:
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 saying 'I love you'
Brittany (and Sam) with New Directions:
La-de-da, (la-de-da-da)
Sam with New Directions:
De-da-da-da
Brittany and Sam with New Directions:
More than words
La-de-da, la-de-da
Brittany and Sam with New Directions (Brittany with New Directions):
(Now that I've 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
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 saying 'I love you'
