Featured Unknown/Underrated Song of the Rock Era*: Berlin's "No More Words"

We have a great 80's song ready to be added to The Top Unknown/Underrated Songs of the Rock Era*, which you can listen to any time of the day, any day of the year by clicking on the Tab at the top of the web page!

This group from L.A. fronted by Terri Nunn had a #1 song from Top Gun with "Take My Breath Away".  But two years before that, they were ripped off by radio when "No More Words" only reached #23.  Since radio these days goes strictly by chart numbers, it's the reason you never hear it anymore.  All the more reason to hang out on Inside The Rock Era!:

"No More Words
Berlin
 
Lyics and Music by John Crawford
 
You're talking, it all sounds fair
You promise your love, how much you care
I'm still listening and still unsure
Your actions are lacking, nothing is clear

[CHORUS]
No more words
You're telling me you love me while you're looking away
No more words
No more words and no more promises of love

Remember when the words were new
They carried a meaning, a feeling so true
Well, I'm looking for a long romance
Not a picture of passion or one time chance

[CHORUS]

But don't fool yourself
Your empty passion won't satisfy me, I know
So don't pretend that you want me
You don't want me, no

[CHORUS]

We make love, and it's all the same
Your eyes show nothing, no lover's flame
Well, don't promise we can work it out
You can leave right now if you're feeling doubt

[CHORUS]

No more words
You're telling me you love me and looking away
No more words and no more promises
No more words and no more promises

[CHORUS]

No more words and no more promises
No more words and no more promises of love
No more words and no more promises of love
No more words and no more promises of love
