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

[Refrain: Dave Gahan]
Enjoy the silence
Enjoy the silence
Enjoy the silence

[Interlude]

[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
[Interlude]

[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: 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

[Interlude]

[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
[Interlude]

[Refrain: Dave Gahan]
Enjoy the silence
Enjoy the silence
Enjoy the silence
Enjoy the silence
Enjoy the silence
Enjoy the silence
